Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes,
G/D                                    Dm7              Dm9

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind,
G/D                      Dm7                    Dm9
Had to get away to see what we could find.

Hope the days that lie ahead

bring us back to where they've led
