We went out into the wild
we went out into the west
And all along we held our heads high
Saying that the further we went
We would all stick together
we would always be light
When the darkness started falling
Onto the night

When the shadows started falling
They were trickling down the walls
And the light that we promised
Started slowing to a crawl

But time wasn't on our side
And though we were moving slow
The waves from the rising tide
We're going to take us home

(Whoa, whoa)

We went out into the wild
we went out into the west
And all along we held our heads high
Saying that the further we went
We heard all kinds of voices
From the left to the right
And the ghostly melodies they'd sing
"Go ahead and take your time"

But time wasn't on our side
And though we were moving slow
The waves from the rising tide
We're going to take us home

(Whoa, whoa)

Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
