Lyrics

WHERE WAS I GOING?

You came in from the east
Just a little after sunrise.
I felt the heat increase
When you looked into my eyes.
My heart began to melt
When you began to speak;
I’ll admit that I felt
Hungry, helpless, and weak.
You pointed on ahead
And took one step that way.
With a tiny sense of dread
I went with you that day.

Where was I going
When I was following you?
There was no way of knowing
What you were leading me to.

So many years went by
As we circled the earth,
And we always did try
To get our money’s worth -
From matadors in Madrid
And the snowy slopes of Sweden
To growing rare orchids
In our own Garden of Eden.
Didn’t slow down in the fall
Or notice the bad weather;
We saw and did it all
In our time together.

Where was I going
When I was following you?
The decades kept on showing
A path so straight and true.

Now the journey has ended
For the one I loved so dear,
But God never intended
To leave me alone here.
There are no real good byes
When that last church bell tolls.
True love never ever dies;
It lives on within our souls.
I still look east at sunrise
Every day I’m still alive,
And I’ll still be surprised
The next time you arrive.

Where will I be going
When I’ll be following you?
The Water of Life will be flowing
Where we’ll start our life anew.
Where our love will be renewed.

I still look east at sunrise
Every day that I'm alive,
And I'll still be surprised
The next time you arrive.
