In and out on this same path that I’ve followed for years –
Can’t I look around and ask how could we still end out up here?
I can’t just hold tight, wait for them to cut us to ribbons
If the sharpest thing where you come is a blade of grass.
Oh take me with you – I don’t need shoes to follow.
Bare feet are running with you – somewhere a rainbow ends my dear.
These injuries – don’t you think we need a new referee?
I can’t let the ball drop, boy I need some interference –
To shut them up.
Oh take me with you – I don’t need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you, somewhere the rainbow ends my dear
Oh take me with you – Chase rabbits into their burrow
Bare feet are running with you – Today even the rain can cut me up.
Tears turn to steel
And the wound never heals
In the darkness of November.
Well the witch is in the Tower
And the snake’s in the bower
And the hunt goes on forever.
Now the stake is there to burn
My father’s robe is torn between cross and mother –
With the blood on your hands come on whatcha doin’?
I am fed up with this questioning.
Here.
Oh take me with you – I don’t need shoes to follow
Bare feet running with you – somewhere the rainbow ends my dear
Oh take me with you – Chase rabbits into their burrow
Bare feet are running with you – Today, today.
Oh take me with you – I don’t need shoes to follow
Bare feet are running with you.
Today even the rain,
Even the rain,
Can cut me up.
Take me with you.
Take me with you.
