Accidental Tourist

When I was seven
I heard voices in the night
Calling out my name
Across a shadowed hallway light
Come on they said
Come with me take an open hand
And we'll travel to a dark and distant land

I have seen the light of day
Through the darkness
And I felt so far away
In the darkness
This wasn't supposed to happen
Will you take my hand
I'm an accidental tourist
In a dead man's land

A million lights were shining
Underneath my plane
Like a million broken hearts
That have been left out in the rain
Well I guess that I'm the lucky one
I have found my friend
Shouting love like rock n roll pretend

I have seen the light of day
Through the darkness
And I felt so far away
In the darkness
This wasn't supposed to happen
Will you take my hand
I'm an accidental tourist
In a dead man's land

Black crows are in the field
My best defense is down
Cause I see the past like sorrow sleeping
All around this town
I need you to be here with me
I need to clear my mind
I've been ravaged by cold effect of time

Now I have seen the light of day
Through the darkness
And I have felt so far away
In the darkness
This wasn't supposed to happen
Will you take my hand
I'm an accidental tourist
In a dead man's land
