I Can't Stay

Restless thoughts like a pest, buried beneath my skin
Sleepless nights without rest, wondering what could have been

My idle mind deep in thought, my eyes fixed on the road
I learned that joy cannot be bought, and stored up treasures erode

I feel a change a coming, I need to get away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay

The winter cannot trap me here, when the warmth goes away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay

I travel down this lonesome path, without you by my side
I'm searching in the darkness, for a peace that I can't find

I look back on the simpler times, when my mind was carefree
Not a worry in my head, and clear vision to see

I feel a change a coming, I need to get away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay

The winter cannot trap me here, when the warmth goes away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay

It's knocking at the door, do I have to let it in?
Persistent like a salesman, strong like a shot of gin
There's still hope my soul, one day it will leave for good
If you can rid me of it God, then I pray that you would

I feel a change a coming, I need to get away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay

The winter cannot trap me here, when the warmth goes away
Don't know where I am going, I just know that I can't stay
