Heading West - Song by Cyndi Lauper ‧ 1989

 

I drop my hatTo a restless windThis time I'm not gonna chase it againIn a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heardYou're looking through me like I never was realYou say you love me but you won't let me feelSo I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some place where I can healAnd I'm heading westWithout a sad goodbyeAnd I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no addressJust like a book I readI'm heading westI said my name
Under my breathHe turned down a twisted roadI won't forgetI'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everythingI can't stop laughing and it's nothing you saidThe altitude of freedom seems to go to my headAnd if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up againAnd I'm heading westWithout a sad goodbyeAnd I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no addressJust like a book I readI'm heading westAnd I'm heading west...Just like a book I read...
