Another quiet Monday evening
This is the seventh in a row
I'm awake and barely breathing
In and out the great unknown
The distance singing softly
Calling out
Keeping time
From so far

I sit and watch the autumn colors change
In careful patches leaves are rearranged
The west wind blowin' through the window screen
I hope it's strong enough to carry me

Chorus:
It's been a long, long day
For a sad, sad song
How the nights get cold
When the summer moves on
Am I running too fast?
Is my heart worn thin?
Am I running too fast?
Am I chasing the wind?

The world won't stop it's spinning
I pretend I have a choice
About staying here or leaving
For the laughter and the noise
The distance singing softly
Calling out
Keeping time
From so far

I sit and watch the daylight dance away
I wonder where it goes and where it stays
The west wind blowin' through the window screen
I hope it's strong enough to carry me

Repeat Chorus

Am I chasing the wind?
Say...
Am I chasing the wind?

I sit and watch the autumn colors change
In careful patches leaves are rearranged
The west wind blowin' through the window screen
I hope it's strong enough to carry me

Repeat Chorus

It's been a long, long day
Hey...
It's been a long, long day
Say...
It's been a long, long day

Repeat Chorus
