Take Yourself With You

In the infinite nothingness of a grey English afternoon
I read some words, some words to you
Your face comes to me in the strangest sunbeam
A dusty distant silhouette through the haze of a foreign heat

No matter where you may go, you’ve gotta take yourself with you
Thousands of miles away from all you’ve ever known
Now that you’ve finally saw it wasn’t all you thought it could be
Wonder if you’ll ever find what you’ve been looking for

You, you leave without a trace
Move onto the next place
But somehow you have found that same old party
Oh, these people they don’t care about anything
And if they ever had a fire
It’s been lost walking on the wire

No matter where you may go, you’ve gotta take yourself with you
Thousands of miles away from all you’ve ever known
Now that you’ve finally saw it wasn’t all you thought it could be
Wonder if you’ll ever find what you’ve been looking for

No matter where you may go, you’ve gotta take yourself with you
Thousands of miles away from all you’ve ever known
Now that you’ve finally saw it wasn’t all you thought it could be
Wonder if you’ll ever find what you’ve been looking for
