lyrics

Would you go to Helsinki
Would you go to St Paul
Nose to the stone
Back to the wall
Will you keep on running till you leave your dark behind?

Would you go to Las Vegas
Just to see the lights
Dinner for Breakfast
Champagne nights

So set your goals
Just to wait your turn
Tip your hat to the lesson learned
A tale of woe
As the skies grow grey
But you’ll be back for another day

Would you go to Columbus
Would you go to Hong Kong
A forest of lights
Lost in the throng
Will you keep on running till you leave your dark behind?

Would you go to the Missoula
Where the air flows free
Up at the summit
Down on your knees

You climbed your peak
And your lungs just burned
Tip your hat to the lesson learned
A tale of woe
As the skies grow grey
You’ll be back for another day

Would you go to the Arctic
Just to see the lights
It’s colder than hell
So wrap up tight
Will you keep on running till you leave your dark behind?

Could you go anywhere
And really want to be
Would you take the sights
You need to see

Guard your words
Till you sing your song
The heart is light till the day is long
A tale of woe
But the grays just fades
But you’ll be back for another day and you’ll stay.
