lyrics
Rolling where the wind blows
Like an aimless tumbleweed
When up ahead I see the glow
Of a crowded street
What can I do but follow
Where this road tries to lead?
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
So here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
I start to explore this city
That I found upon my path
Here there is no pity
For those who've made the dash
Is there anybody
The past could never catch
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
Maybe with this all behind me
I can try to let you go
There are so many people here
None of whom I know
But who am I kidding
I'll forever be alone
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
I hear footsteps approaching
And hope that it's not you
And indeed it's someone
Who asks me if I'm new
Wonders what I'm doing here
And I give the simple truth
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
And here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
Rolling where the wind blows
Like an aimless tumbleweed
When up ahead I saw the glow
Of this crowded street
What could I do but follow
Where this road tried to lead?
I stared to explore this city
That I found upon my path
Here there is no pity
For those who've made the dash
Is there anybody
The past could never catch
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
Like an aimless tumbleweed
When up ahead I see the glow
Of a crowded street
What can I do but follow
Where this road tries to lead?
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
So here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
I start to explore this city
That I found upon my path
Here there is no pity
For those who've made the dash
Is there anybody
The past could never catch
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
Maybe with this all behind me
I can try to let you go
There are so many people here
None of whom I know
But who am I kidding
I'll forever be alone
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
I hear footsteps approaching
And hope that it's not you
And indeed it's someone
Who asks me if I'm new
Wonders what I'm doing here
And I give the simple truth
That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
And here I am
Barely strong enough to stand

When up ahead I saw the glow

That's it, you're gone
And I don't want to move on
My heart and mind
Just can't leave the past behind
But here I am
Barely strong enough to stand
