When I’m alone,
I look for a home.
When I’m home,
I want to be alone.
If I were a river,
I’d want to be a stone.
If I were a stone,
I'd feel that I'm alone.
Draw some lines,
Make up a map.
And hope to God,
It's not a trap.
Sometimes I'm small,
Other times big.
I love a woman,
And she loves me.
My mind's made up,
I'm gonna settle down.
Choose a nice place,
Survey the ground.
Draw some lines,
Make up a map.
And hope to God,
It's not a trap.
I'll take a walk,
The desert is alive.
It looks to me,
How I feel inside.
Hot in the sun,
Cold in the moon.
Quiet at times,
And dangerous too.
I come to a mountain,
And start to climb.
Count every step,
I leave behind.
To a new place,
With a broader view.
Approaching the edge,
To help me see you.
I won't be gone too long,
I won't be gone too long.
I feel like you're channeling Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) on this one! I like the simple, sparse lyrics. Your voice is sounding pretty good on this one, too.
ReplyDeleteI’ll take it! Cat Stevens is one of my favourite songwriters.
