Verse One:
There are miles of country between you and me-
Stretches of concrete from here to the sea.
And it's been a long time, or so it seems
Since I found you on a road of dreams.

Verse Two:
I saw stars of myst'ry that danced in your eyes.
Ours is the earth, but you longed for the skies.
Like a runaway train, you jumped the rails.
Like a ship at sea, you raised your sails.

Chorus:
The horizon was always in your sight.
You seek your dreams outside the night.
And why should you not ride the wind?
Why do I refuse to bend?
I hear the clock pick up its pace,
While you find more windmills to chase.
My roots are here, an aging tree-
And you are there, alive and free.

Verse Three:
And there's more than mileage between our two lives.
Desperate souls have found ways to survive.
As Santa Anna blows across your face,
I hope, at last, you have found your place.
(Repeat Chorus)

We started work on a vocal demo for this one but haven't finished it yet.  
It needs more instrumentation,  which I'll work on.
Here is a short sample of where it is so far...
