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-brewing

Many evil deeds I've done

I'm looking for a reason

For a reason not to run

'Cause 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 cause I mean to hold

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
