A C#m A C#m B

Awwwww keep moving, like the wind across the sea-ea

A C#m A B C#m

Awwwww I'm moving, beats the devil out of me.

I was teathered to the plow

and came untied but dont know how

it's all behind me now

like some exotic dream

I woke up in oil and mud

and sticks and stones and bones and blood

and everthing i knew (that) was good

had vanished with the steam

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

Now i walk this earth to find

some place to rest some peace of mind

I walk on until I'm blind,

Until i'm old and grey

So my Friend good luck to you

I wish you well in all you do

here's hopin' that your dreams come true

and you never have to say

Chorus
