I'm tired of these four walls
I'm longing to break loose
Everyday this city
Seems to tighten like a noose
I'm going someplace no ones keeping score
Somewhere out on the western shore
If I'm brave enough to live
An ordinary life
If I'm clear enough of mind
To make a choice and not think twice
I'd hear the sea wind crying at my door
Somewhere out on the western shore
Western Shore
Western Shore
In my heart the wild waves are crashing
Western Shore
Western Shore
I'm dreaming of the western shore
I think I'll go to Mayo
Watch the schools of salmon leap
Walk along the headlands where
the raged cliffs are steep
And find the stillness that I had before
Somewhere out on the western shore
Gonna quench this empty hunger
Satisfy this thirst
Greet another morning
Where it feels just like the first
And learn to live by nature's sacred law
Somewhere out on the western shore
Western Shore
Western Shore
In my heart the wild waves are crashing
Western Shore
Western Shore
I'm dreaming of the western shore
