Lyrics

He walked out the front door
Back in 1994
He was bound and determined
To be free
Took a cab to the station
Took a train across the nation
Didn't stop 'til he ran into the sea

He left his wife in his bed
He left her dreams inside her head
Left the keys at the bottom
Of the stairs
He left his car in the driveway
He told his neighbour
Have a nice day
It was like he was never even there

It was bound to make her miss him
It was bound to make her cry
The man was on a mission
We must do what we do or die

And all the years just slipped away
And he forgot her every day
And all the rain on English Bay
Couldn't wash away the fact
He was dying to go back

Now he really can't remember
Why he felt he had to leave her
Or the fear that persuaded
Him to part
It seems no matter what
His dreams are
They can only take him so far
Being bound by the meekness
Of his heart

It was bound to make her miss him
It was bound to make her cry
The man was on a mission
We must do what we do or die

We must do what we do or die
