| That morning sky gave me a look
|
| So I left while you were sleeping, that’s all it took
|
| And I chalked a line south down the coast
|
| Goin' where my thirst was open
|
| For the things that I don’t know
|
| Goin' where I wasn’t payin' for the hurt that I owe
|
| One half moon sleeping by the creeks
|
| And a woman put me under
|
| Her barn roof for a week
|
| I knew her voice before she spake
|
| I saw a grave dug by a preacher
|
| Just to see what it would make
|
| So hold high how faint your reasons
|
| (Boy, you’ll never get on)
|
| Don’t you forget you come from nothing
|
| (Boy you’ll never get on)
|
| That wind is calling my name
|
| And I won’t wait
|
| Or I’ll never get on
|
| It’s not hard to live like a ghost
|
| I just haunt all that I’ve wanted
|
| And leave what I don’t
|
| I dreamt a trail up to the sky
|
| And my brothers built propellers
|
| Just to see how far they’d fly
|
| So hold high how faint your reasons
|
| (Boy you’ll never get on)
|
| Your flashing sparrows chasin with them
|
| (Boy you’ll never get on)
|
| Don’t you forget you come from nothing
|
| (Boy you’ll never get on)
|
| That wind is calling my name
|
| And I won’t wait
|
| Or I’ll never get on
|
| That wind is calling my name
|
| And I won’t wait
|
| Or I’ll never get on
|
| So hold high how faint your reasons
|
| Hold up high how faint your reasons
|
| Hold high how faint your reasons
|
| That wind is calling my name
|
| And I won’t wait
|
| Or I’ll never get on |
