lyrics
You were the blood kissed by the thorn
I was the wind in the leaf
Bent at the eye of the storm
North at the pole repelled and drawn
I wanted to fall or to be reborn
Fall or to be reborn
I tried to be brave you tried to be strong
You said I was wise like a king
More like a fool all along
I wanted to drown in the dust of a drought
I wanted in when the real way was out
In when the real way was out
And so I ran but nowhere fast
I was the hare in the lights
And the lead that fired up the glass
The way was dark and I should have passed
You were the first through and I was the last
The first through and I was the last
Tides always turn dipping away
I was the wing in flight
Dying to return some day
But I couldn’t leave nor could I stay
Deliver me I used to say
Deliver me I used to say
Once more to the fore but for what cause
I heard a heartbeat and then a pause
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
I was the wind in the leaf
Bent at the eye of the storm
North at the pole repelled and drawn
I wanted to fall or to be reborn
Fall or to be reborn
I tried to be brave you tried to be strong
You said I was wise like a king
More like a fool all along
I wanted to drown in the dust of a drought
I wanted in when the real way was out
In when the real way was out
And so I ran but nowhere fast
I was the hare in the lights
And the lead that fired up the glass
The way was dark and I should have passed
You were the first through and I was the last
The first through and I was the last
Tides always turn dipping away
I was the wing in flight
Dying to return some day
But I couldn’t leave nor could I stay
Deliver me I used to say
Deliver me I used to say
Once more to the fore but for what cause
I heard a heartbeat and then a pause
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours

about
Piers Faccini France
If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterranean.
