Im stretched out like a canvas 'neath a blue and endless sky
Staring up through cattle bones as cotton balls roll by
I swear i see a rose up there so beautiful and white
If i so much as blink an eye i could lose her in this light
Out here in this deserted land the future looks so vast
Like every little grain of sand and every blade of grass
I'm alone but not alone
Somthing inside me is trying to guide me
On my long way back home
I'm alone but not alone
Only with these stolen words can i unpack my heart
While you rise from the ashes i free fall in the dark
I swear i feel your humid breath so soft inside my ear
The day they lay my soul to rest i swear i'll meet you here
Out here on this great expanse the wind cries over head
At night i hear the natives dance in circles 'round my bed
I'm alone but not alone
Something quite near me is trying to steer me
It's a long way back home
I'm alone but not alone
Goodbye california
Goodbye tennessee
Goodbye sweet carolina
Don't worry about me
I'm alone but not alone
Something so strong is leading me on my long way back home
