I Walked Away

I walked away from the hills, the people, my life
Seeking a world I didn’t know
But I wanted more, a new life
I saw cities, I saw oceans, but I never saw love


I made money, I spent money, it appeared I had it all
I flew planes, I sailed yachts, drove fast cars
But in my heart, I knew it meant fuck all
As despite wealth and fame, I never saw love


My mind kept taking me back to all I walked away from
As my years increased, I grew wiser
I realised one’s heart never forgets where it is from
And in the hills, the people I saw love.
