Walter Egan - Land of the Living Lyrics

by Walter Egan and Billy Cioffi





Whatever happened to the dreams we used to keep

Those crazy precious moments now so bittersweet

Once I'd convinced myself I really knew it all

Way up on my high horse just riding for a fall

I used to feel so different

I used to feel immune



Back to the land of the living, I've been away for awhile

I couldn't see what was in me, the father or the child

I'm gonna need some forgiving I'm asking for a new trial

Back in the land of the living, no denial



However many roads I wandered down alone

Somehow I never seemed to find my way back home

Too many solitary nights surrounded me

Until I felt so different until I felt in tune



Chorus



Now I stand at your door my heart in my throat

Trying so hard to find the words I never spoke

I won't fell like I'm home 'til I'm in your arms again



Chorus
