lyrics

We are riding down one dark and windy road
The Night is still, but the stars are high and bold
Our light shines down the road, the lines lead the way
Sun has set behind the mountains and said goodbye to day

We see the birds and bats in silhouettes
The owl spreading its wings as it flies up from its nest
The coyotes are howling, the notes are all astray
Somewhere in the shadows a Jaguar stalks its pray

There’s darkness here that makes it feel like home
The twinkle in the sky reminds you, you are not alone
There’s a wide open wild for each of us to roam
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home

Chasing lights that burn a million miles away
I can’t sleep a wink, I’ll be awake until it’s day
My eyes fall on Orion with his belt and mighty spear
We’ve long looked to the skies to help us quell our fears

There’s a part of my heart that longs to stay
Walking this wide valley below the Milky Way
I hope this place stay wild so that I may soon return
To see its natural beauty of which my heart is sure to yearn

There’s darkness here that makes it feel like home
The twinkle in the sky reminds you, you are not alone
There’s a wide open wild for each of us to roam
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home
