I never knew your heart of thistle
Was wrapped around my chest
Never knew that love could sting
Or that the heartache was a test
You're leaving now, I heard you're moving west
My heart won't wait for your return
This emptiness won't rest

You won't find me where you left me
Even searching till the dawn
Like the cotton from the dogwood
The wind moves me ever on
I'll shout across the mountains
And down into the streams
You won't find me where you left me
You won't find us in my dreams

I never knew the thorns around me
Were to keep my mind a mess
I didn't feel the blood you drew
See the stains, feel your caress
I tried to walk your way
Or at least I tried my best
But the spirits that I followed
Wouldn't let emptiness rest

Take me where the wind blows
Where the water bites the rocks
Take me to the memories of the times that we forgot

You won't find me where you left me
Even searching till the dawn
Like the cotton from the dogwood
The wind moves me ever on
I'll shout across the mountains
And down into the streams
You won't find me where you left me
You won't find us in my dreams

You won't find me where you left me
You won't find us in my dreams
