I went out searching' with nothing to find
went looking' for someone with no one in mind
last petal on a rose in the fall I feel alone
all the faces starin' back from the crowd reflect my own
I can't breathe without you here
I can't hold on, I need you near
Down this highway, lonesome road
life before me left untold
tell me something that I wonder
forever lost or just untouched
a wounded heart in two is cut
lost at sea, I'm going under
Through the darkness I feel you
in the silence I see you
turnin' slowly you fade away
your lips moving with nothing to say
reaching out without my hands
a voiceless call on nothing lands
I went out searching' with nothing to find
went looking' for someone with no one in mind

Down this highway, lonesome road

a wounded heart in two is cut
lost at sea, I'm going under
Through the darkness I feel you
in the silence I see you

your lips moving with nothing to say
reaching out without my hands
a voiceless call on nothing lands
I went out searching' with nothing to find
went looking' for someone with no one in mind
