What was it that brought you west I assume i can only guess It's the question to what i've asked That appear when time has passed It felt like many years Taking apart our home I dug through forty years all alone on my own on my own on my own on my own Was it all the palm dreams Placed where they shouldn't it be That made you feel complete In this land of make believe like going 65 on the 5 in 5 like going 65 on the 5 in 5 on my own on my own on my own on my own I am still bereaved Come every ocean breeze Was it all the palm trees Placed where they shouldn't be That made you feel complete In this land of make believe What was it that brought you west What was it that brought you west What was it that brought you west Where i lay my head to rest It felt like many years Taking apart our home I dug through forty years, all alone.
