lyrics

The wanderer settled down
Drank from the river
Laid upon the ground

Dreamt of seven crooked figures
Staring into orange
Hand in hand

He said, “Save my body, save my life
Save my weathered soul tonight”

The wanderer walked along
The fallen leaves of autumn
The forest sang a song

Spirits wild and full of wonder
Bowed their heads in silence
Protectors in their land

They said, “Fear not then and fear not now
Fear what you never said aloud”

The wanderer came to a fire
Crackling in the twilight
Naked as he was

The thump thump thumping of his heartbeat
Pounded out the rhythm
And calmly he stepped forth

I said, “Take my body, take my life
Take my fears away tonight”

I’m all alone
Hands come crashing down on me
They loose the space beneath my feet
And if my body breaks, you’ll see
I’ve finally found where I must be
