Night Versions - Running from the Wasteland Lyrics

We've been waiting, anticipating
The end of the winter, the dawn of spring
Where we're standing, it never can happen
It's just temporary, a passing thing

Boarding a plane that can take us away
Our journey begins in the night
Up and away over mountains and lakes
With searchlights that shine through the sky

We're running from the wasteland
Our dreams in our hands
We're waving goodbye
We're searching for our satellite
And we'll be on that freeway tonight

When we get there, we've already been there
We know what can happen, we know it's divine
See the sunlight, pour down the mountains,
Cascade through palm trees
We know it's divine

The place where we are only takes us so far
We need what it cannot provide
The place that we know leaves us nothing to show
We know that it's time to fly

We're running from the wasteland
Our dreams in our hands
We're waving goodbye
We're searching for our satellite
And we'll be on that freeway tonight
We gain more than we leave behind
And we'll be on that freeway tonight
