I can't remember when
I was here but I'm back again
I barely know you friend
And everything has changed
The sun burned up the sky turned green
The air it smelled of gasoline
The soldier boy the teenage queen
Have since become estranged
I keep moving
Like the wind across the sea
What I'm doing
Beats the devil out of me
I was tethered to the plow
I came untied I don't know how
I saw my island now
Like some exotic dream
I woke up in oil and mud
And sticks and stones and bones and blood
And everything I knew was good
Had vanished with the steam
I keep moving
Like the wind across the sea
ย
What I'm doing
Beats the devil out of me
ย
Now I walk this earth to find
A place to rest some peace of mind
I'll walk on until I'm blind
Until I'm old and gray
So my friend good luck to you
I wish you well in all you do
Here's hoping your dreams come true
And you never have to say
I keep moving
Like the wind across the sea
What I'm doing
Beats the devil out of me
