heading west

cyndi lauper

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.
