I don't live in the house where I was born
one day I will move again,
I've itchy feet and there's a shadow on my heart,
so I'll walk as long as this longing so remains,
I don't know if I'm running away,
or chasing after a dream,
all that I know is that I'm standing where the flow is,
and I'll recognise it when at last it's seen
All I need is the open seas
and a steady breeze to let me sail away,
all I need is your open door,
and a patch of floor where my head can lay
Martha can you see your spirit in my hands?
my bones are crippled with the flaw,
I trim the crust reveal new layers to the mould,
I long to eat but I am starving for the call
The truce of wayward pine-fresh culminates in tears,
confused by when to show and hide,
between the fever feet and the siren’s wail on lightning street,
is there free drinks at this meeting of our minds?
and I would be some sort of traveling man,
and I would find my promised land
Oh but I am yours and ever shall be
wherever I go you are with me
I'm bound to whisper in these days that Joel described,
this momentary lose is fine,
when the moon is blood red, prophets old and young have all said:
now see the changing of our times
And far, far off I hear the calling of a dove
though feathers grey blind some who seek,
but I have see then rainbow hidden in it's pelt,
an olive branch carried in a pigeon’s beak
All I need is your open arms
and a voice that calms all of my raging seas,
all I need is you grace that saves
let your love like waves come crashing over me
