On a 747 with Halifax beneath
Spilling into the Atlantic Sea
Heading into Dublin, thinking bout a girl and wondering
Yeah wondering what she means to me
I’ve been on a bus, in a van, on a plane
Till the view all looks the same
I’ve been the stranger in town, the one they talk about
And seen the marquee with my name
Chorus:
I’ve been looking for a spark
I’ve been looking for passion
I’ve been looking for truth
I’ve been looking for a selfless love
I’ve been looking for me Maybe I’m looking for you
It’s the way that the evening sky touches sea
Yet so much lies in between
It’s the way she calls my name, it’s the sound of midnight rain
When she’s sleeping next to me
I’ve sacrificed love seen it die in vein
Felt my heart give way to pride and shame
But I won’t sacrifice the truth, not even for my muse
Let alone for minor fame
Chorus
Maybe a song can heal a soul
Like prayers don’t know where they come from or they go Lilting lullabyes under the cover of night
Long ago I heard someone say
Seek yourself and you’ll be on your way
But sometimes that’s just like trying to making lightning strike
