lyrics

How many times have we parted, how many times we've come back again
Each time seems harder, and each time I wonder where you've been

Dreams and times we've forgotten, wove their way into our hearts
Such a long history together, through lonely seasons and false starts

Home is a place to return to, that's what you say you don't need
But I need to know for certain, where it is you want to be

Ooh, go the other way, ooh, miles apart
Ooh, go the other way, don't ride away into the dark

Winds blow wild on the coastline, seabirds hang on the breeze
Balancing against each other, we find our way, clear and free

How many times have we parted, how many times we've come back again
Each time seems harder, and each time I wonder where you've been

Home is a place to return to, that's what you say you don't need
But I need to know for certain, where it is you want to be

I was fortunate to be able to play in a string quartet, backing up Mirah and Jherek Bischoff, who did the string arrangements for this album. If you like cool, edgy String Quartet music, this is it! Rob Loren
