If East is East (and West is West) Lyrics

If you let your mind wander repeatedly

It'll wander away

Unlatch the hinge in the back and go out through the garden gate

While you visit the light up ahead of you

Scared to death as you started to shake

Just don't wander too far

We'll be here when you wake up

But that's not you

You're back in Sacramento

Laughing with me under train tracks

We'll always be there, together

If you need to be on your way elsewhere

I really just want you to know

I'll love you wherever you go

If you let your mind wander so easily

It'll wander too fast

Think ahead all your life

At the end find yourself in the past

(These days, they are precious and numbered)

Caught your leg in a snare and you're tired of it

Left your head as you come unstuck

Don't be gone for too long

We'll be there when you wake up

But that's not you

You're back in better days and

Joking it up with a stranger

We'll always be there, together

If you think that they deserve your punchlines elsewhere

I really just want you to know

I'll love you wherever you go
