lyrics

go now into the western sun

you'll arrive ahead when the day is done.

rest your head upon me now

let the light of stars slow you down….

all my life i've been a worried man

seeking love and companionship

id sell my soul to save the life of a friend,

but have oft' found that most leave in the end.

all my dreams were born in cages

picking the locks are my daily rages,

but one day i'm going fly this scene,

and arrive living inside the dreams.

you can find my compass pointing west

towards the mountains and the wild children

let me live out the lives inside my bones

I've grown too young to now be so old...

go now into the western sun

you'll arrive ahead when the day is done,

rest your head upon me now,

let the stars at night slow you down...

rest your head upon me now...rest your head upon me now...
