lyrics

that month was too much i thought i had it rough
searching for peace of mind
enough's enough i think i'll pack it up
and settle down inside
holding the reins of what appears to be
a magic steed with a magic name in a land of uncertainty

but a few more days
it don't take long to find out
that horse went lame
now who's to tell i though i'd seen it all

i can't define what i put on the line
what would be the use?
of adding up all i've left behind
when there's nothing left to lose

i jumped a train to sit and count the days
a face can hold a smile
they found me out they were lookin for a stowaway
i didn't stick around for that trial
i was thrown from a cage moving fast through an autumn storm
i landed face down in the rain i just slept there until the mornin

the sky has cleared
i wake up to the sunshine
i lost that fear
now who'd a thought i'd get up from that fall?

yesterday seems so different now
played in a different time
who it was? what was it all about?
this mix up may have been mine
throwing a line through a scene in a picture book
i'm taking in all sorts of signs looking lightly for their worth

but nowhere to run
there's nothing left to run from
it has begun
not just me or my account of
it's like a wave
it heaves across the skyline
now taking shape
many times i've heard that same voice call
