"keep your head up" lyrics

I spent my time watchin'
The spaces that have grown between us
And I cut my mind on second best
All the scars that come with the greenness
And I gave my eyes to the boredom
Still, the seabed wouldn't let me in
And I tried my best
To embrace the darkness in which I swim
Oh, the darkness in which I swim

Now walkin' back down this mountain
The strength of a turnin' tide
Oh, the wind's so soft, and my skin
Yeah, the sun was so hot upon my side
Oh, lookin' out at this happiness
I searched for it between the sheets
Oh, feelin' blind, and realized
All I was searchin' for was me
Oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me

Oh, yeah
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long
Oh my, my darlin'
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set in your ways
Keep your heart strong, my dear

I saw a friend of mine the other day
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'
Oh, I said I had been away, and he knew
Oh, he knew the depths I was meanin'
And it felt so good to see his face
All the comfort invested in my soul
Oh, to feel the warmth of a smile
When he said "I'm happy to have you home"
Oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home
Oh, yeah

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
(Keep your head up, keep your heart strong) no, no, no, no
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long
(Keep your head up, keep your heart strong) oh my darlin'

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set in your ways
Keep your heart strong, my dear
'Cause I'll always remember you the same

Oh, eyes like wild flowers, oh, with your demons of change
Oh, may you find happiness there
Oh, may all your hopes all turn out right
