Northwest is where I'm headed,
Underneath the golden sky
I'm searching for a wisdom
That every man seeks to find
I've got wicked thoughts a brewin'
Many even deeds I've done
I'm looking for a reason
For a reason not to run

[Chorus: x2]

I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance

I've got no destination
No place to call my own
I'll explore the constellations
Till I find the course I mean to hone
But come fever or come famine
Come the biting winter cold
Just put two coins upon my eyelids
So I can pay the poor man's toll

[Chorus: x2]

I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance

I've been so unforgiving
Stranded in old traditions

[Chorus: x2]

I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
