look down the ragged road behind us the strangers that we used to be are lost along the way let s look for something to remind us of lovers painting dreams across the skies of yesterday how could we come so far from what we really are oh babe take my hand lead me back where the road began oh babe take me home bring me back to myself again some nights i lie awake and wonder longing to embrace the girl who used to have your name warm lips that tasted like the summer have melted and dissolved into the vacuum that remains we re on a brand new ground every direction s down oh babe take my hand lead me back where the road began oh babe take me home bring me back to myself again where are the valleys we expected when promises on silver wings were leading into time so few mistakes can be corrected looking back at all your brave beginnings going blind what has become of me my eyes refuse to see oh babe take my hand lead me back where the road began oh babe take me home bring me back to myself again we can t put it back together but how can i return to what i was before we met lost in the mountains we ve come over the setting sun is giving up a dying silhouette something along the line has rearranged my mind oh babe take my hand lead me back where the road began oh babe take me home bring me back to myself again
