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
