We went out into the wild we went out into the west And all along we held our heads high Saying that the further we went We would all stick together we would always be light When the darkness started falling Onto the night When the shadows started falling They were trickling down the walls And the light that we promised Started slowing to a crawl But time wasn’t on our side And though we were moving slow The waves from the rising tide We’re going to take us home (Whoa, whoa) We went out into the wild we went out into the west And all along we held our heads high Saying that the further we went We heard all kinds of voices From the left to the right And the ghostly melodies they’d sing “Go ahead and take your time” But time wasn’t on our side And though we were moving slow The waves from the rising tide We’re going to take us home (Whoa, whoa) Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead
