lyrics

[Verse 1]

Looking out across a valley
The windswept vista of my dreams
And at the edge of this reality
Nothing's ever as it seems

[Chorus]

There's silver in the foothills
But that's so far away from here
How can I change my mind or direction?
When my compass points the same
When my values haven't changed

[Verse 2]

There's nothing I can do to change that
Nowhere I can turn or run
These city lights they never soothed me
Amid the sirens and neon

[Chorus]

There's silver in the foothills
But that's so far away from here
How can I change my mind or direction?
When my compass points the same
When my values haven't changed
