lyrics

Well I know what you’ve been thinking I’m the sheep that’s gone astray but I can tell you that I’m drinking from a well that’s flowing away yes overflowing from the source of it I'm tumbling spinning clean I’m skipping jumping howling running with the wolves who came for me / I am unfettered unencumbered I’m the rock that’s set for me I’m in the Nant Gorllewin threshold flowing down the West Grove stream and I will lick this land of honey and the milk will flow from me I’m in the exile of the east at least I’m finally set free / I climb a mountain out the city searching for the great sublime I race away from rhyme and reason ’cos the path just was not mine I travel on the road less travelled, in mindfulness this time I’m now a drifter and a wanderer; a sinner of the nicest kind / Oh hell I tried to write the sea today and it washed right over me I needed washing in the waves a babe baptised in the raging seas I am awake asleep awake I dream the desert endlessly I got to vanish in the vastness in this heavenly purgatory / Then I ride up to the border and I walk an ancient path, listen to the truth of redwoods a synchronicity that lasts I hear the voice of elders speaking feel the sacredness they mark I rest in sun and moon and water and I move on from the past / So now I’m making with the makers and I’m living in time with grain I make my home from what I have reject the dulled-down dumbing ways, I’m kinda sure I’m heading westward like the old communities o’ grapes of wrath, the past, the aftermath, it’s now we’ve come to save / I am a wolf in sheepish clothing and sometimes I'm the lamb and sometimes I’m the serpent oh yes definitely I Am unravelling narrative of bursting fruit, the rising of Devine yes Sheela I can see ya and that cross you got hidden behind. . .
