TRYING TO FIND MY WAY

Words and music by Mark Thies and Winston Apple

I was a lost soul, I was a shipwreck victim
Clinging to pieces of love's debris
I had given up all hope of rescue when you
When you came to me

You didn't ask me any questions
You said everything that you had to say
In the way you smiled and took my hand 
And came to me when you came to me

Blinded by the glare of these city lights
I'm trying to find my way back to you
I'm wandering through the desert 
   in the middle of the night
Trying to find my way back to you

The hurricane winds had ripped by heart to pieces
And washed me out to the open sea
There were women in every port
But none of them knew what I really needed
And then you came to me

The light of your love came shining 
   through the smokey haze
An angel of mercy, you washed my sins away
I had lost my faith, I thought salvation was out of reach
And then you came to me

Blinded by the glare of these city lights
I'm trying to find my way back to you
I'm wandering through the desert 
   in the middle of the night
Trying to find my way back to you
I'm driving day and night, 
   I'm running all the red lights
Trying to find my way back to you
I walk these crowded city streets,
   searching every face I meet
Trying to find my way back to you
I try and I try and I'm gonna keep on trying
Until I find my way back to you
I'm standing in the middle of Lake Ontario
Trying to find my way back to you
I"ve been walking on the water for a long time
Tell me, what more can I do
To find my way back to you?
My love for you is strong
It's getting stronger all the time
