She threw down her golden band
Crushed it with her feet into the sand
Took her silent partner by the hand
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
Somewhere near the edge of town
She said she was torn and turned around
"Can you help me cast this evil down?"
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
We'll drive for the line now
There's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
Dreams fade, hope dies hard
She cups her eyes and looks out at the stars
Says, I feel we've travelled very far
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah (x3)
Crushed it with her feet into the sand
Took her silent partner by the hand
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
Somewhere near the edge of town
She said she was torn and turned around
"Can you help me cast this evil down?"
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
We'll drive for the line now
There's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
Dreams fade, hope dies hard
She cups her eyes and looks out at the stars
Says, I feel we've travelled very far
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah (x3)
