Cross my heart, and hope to die
Before I have the chance to lie
To you, my dear, who I wish no harm
But I know in the end this will turn out wrong
See, I've been known to fall in love
But sometimes love just is not enough
And my heart will stray before too long
So please forgive me for when I sing this song



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

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

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

I've been so unforgiving
Stranded in old traditions
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance

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

I've been so unforgiving
Stranded in old traditions
I've always been dark
With light somewhere in the distance
