Heading West Lyrics
Cyndi Lauper
I drop my hat
To a restless wind
This time Im not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
Youre looking through me like I never was real
You say you love me but you wont let me feel
So Im gonna take a chance this time
Im gonna find myself some place where I can heal
And Im heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And Im heading west
Im like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
Im heading west
I said my name
Under my breath
He turned down a twisted road
I wont forget
Im gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I cant stop laughing and its nothing you said
The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees Im gonna get back up
Im gonna get back up again
And Im heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And Im heading west
Im like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
Im heading west
And Im heading west...
Just like a book I read...
