lyrics

I’ve been looking backwards for most of my life
Living faster, I’ve loved and I’ve lied
Now the grass is greener if you let it grow
Or so I’m told
I’ve been around the block a time or two
I saw a little lady and I lost my shoe
So I followed the wind til it blew
Me right back to you
Now I live at home in these mountains of stone
And giving my whole heart is all that I’ve known
It’s hard to build a caste when the water hits the sand
It’s hard to live alone when you’re living off the land
Take me to the front porch and cover all my clothes
I’ve been wearing much too long and this old shirt’s full of holes
But I’m on my way from nowhere till my heart
Is empty or full
It’s been a long time coming
Lay my head on the hanging tree
I found the lord
And the lord could not find me
I live a quiet life, a simple man they say
Don’t get out much I know, I’m an old man pale and grey
No one is my savior so I think
For now that I’ll stay
