lyrics

heading west

written by Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg And Tom Kelly
taken from a night to remember album

I drop my hat
to a restless wind
this time I'm not gonna chase it again
in a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
you're looking through me like I never was real
you say you love me but you won't let me feel
so I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some place where I can heal

and I'm heading west
without a sad goodbye
and I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
just like a book I read
I'm heading west

I said my name
under my breath
he turned down a twisted road
I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said
the altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
and if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again

and I'm heading west
without a sad goodbye
and I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
just like a book I read
I'm heading west

and I'm heading west...
just like a book I read...
