Back of Beyond

In my dreams I go back of beyond
Far, and far away I drift in shadows
Free from all the expectations of life
With the wind my only heart song

Far, and far away I drift in shadows
Grabbing at peace with my open hand
Free from all the expectations of life
Enraptured by just being alone

Grabbing at peace with my open hand
Free from all the expectations of life
Enraptured by just being alone
In my dreams I go back of beyond
