I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
Hold the secret close
I hear you say
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you’re higher
To follow it
You must be cleaned
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we’ll walk
We’ll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break, no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal-clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarns
You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high
You know the way
It’s painted gold
Is it honey
Is it cold
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out!
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh-oh-ooh-ah
Oh
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you’re higher
To follow it
You must be cleaned
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
It’s o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away
Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout
Yes it’s o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away
Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh-oh-ooh-ah
Oh
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
Hold the secret close
I hear you say
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you’re higher
To follow it
You must be cleaned
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
