I spent my time watchin’ the spaces that had grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greenness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn’t let me in,
And I try my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.
Now walkin’ back down this mountain
With the strength of a turnin’ tide
Oh the wind’s so soft on my skin,
The sun so hot upon my side.
Oh lookin’ out at this happiness,
I search for between the sheets.
Oh feelin’ blind to realize,
All I was searchin’ for was me.
All I was searchin’ for was me.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin’
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
And I saw a friend of mine the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin’.
Oh I said I’d been away, and he knew,
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin’.
And it felt so good to see his face,
All the comfort invested in my soul.
Oh to feel the warmth of his smile,
When he said, “I’m happy to have you home.”
I’m happy to have you home.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin’,
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Oh, keep your heart strong.
‘Cause I’ll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers oh with your demons of change.
May you find happiness there,
May all your hopes all turn out right.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin’,
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
‘Cause I’ll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
