[Verse 1]
Well I hit the road before daylight
And I caught the old and naked night
With the moon in bloom and every star in sight

[Verse 2]
And the music blurred to washed out strums
As I dreamed about the things to come
With the sky ablaze and shadows on the run

[Bridge]
And I never would have thought I would end up here
I thought that there was nothing left to see
And I never would have thought it would take so long
Just to learn how to be free

[Verse 3]
Well the winter sun it came up slow
And the light was pale and settled low
As the mist grew on the restless car and road

[Bridge]
And I never would have thought I would end up here
I thought that there was nothing left for me
And I never would have thought it would take so long
Just to learn how to be free

[Outro]
Well I used to think that we were doomed
All the good had came and left too soon
But now I see, in fact, we've just begun to bloom
