the wind it tangles your black hair
as you ride over the land
you raise your arms and calm the raging sea
your eyes so kind
but your heart is so cold

love left through the backdoor of your heart
i walk away, boots in my hand
love left through the backdoor of your heart
i walk away, I couldn't stay

you cracked the code and broke the secret spell
but the seed was sown in shallow soil
there's no good without the bad
in a world of shadow and light
the world is drinking from a cup
i don't want to share
don't want to share

love left through the backdoor of your heart
i walk away, boots in my hand
love left through the backdoor of your heart
i walk away, I couldn't stay

now the wind is on my back
and I leave this all behind
yes I hold the blanket tight
on the edge, the edge of the night
