Lyrics
I have journeyed through my mind
In chasing long forgotten memories
Now I'm up here in the cold
Feeling lost and all alone
And I need a warm breeze blowing me
Take me to the southern skies
Where the light shines down on me
Where the lonely hearts look up into the night
Reaching for a final destiny
Saw an old man lying on his deathbed
In a West Virginia coal mining town
Well his eyes opened wide
Showed through the broken pride
As his voice spoke with a mortal sound
He said take me to the southern skies
Where the light shines down on me
Where the lonely hearts look up into the night
Reaching for a final destiny
Oh restless youth so quick to leave the homeland
And pursue a foolish fantasy
Well one day you might wake up old and lonesome
In a place where you were never meant to be
Take me to the southern skies
Where the light shines down on me
Where the lonely hearts look up into the night
Reaching for a final destiny
Where the lonely hearts look up into the night
Reaching for a final destiny
Oh reaching for a final destiny
