A letra:
Heaven
sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
'Cause
I'm the man on the outside looking in
Waiting on the first
step
Show me where the key is kept
Point me down the right line
because it's time
To let me in from the
cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing
in my soul
And I think I'm growing old
Flash the readies
Got
to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the
wheel
Mile after mile stone after stone
You turn to speak but
you're alone
Million miles from home you're on your own
So let me in from the
cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing
in my soul
And I think I'm growing old
Fire bright by candle
light
With her by my side
And if she prefers we need never stir
again
Someone sent the promised land
And I grabbed it with both
hands
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out
Hear me shout, "Come
on in
What's the news, and where you been?"
'Cause there's
no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old
