I heard you favored another and to me it came as no surprise
Had all I can take of feeling this way, knowing I was gone beyond goodbye

I hear a sound in the distance, like the voice of a sorrowful ghost
There's a dark sky moving behind me, and I'm riding my thumb by the road

Buddy can you take me to virginia, It's a long time now I've been gone
Or take me to the coast of California, there's a cold wind blowing here at home
Anywhere your restless waves are rolling, is better of than staying
Here alone.

So I paid a price for the learning, measured in the passing of time
Money can't buy back the years I've lost, water that never turned to wine
