I'm a long way from the land that I left

I've been running through life

and cruising toward death

If you think that I'm scared you've got me wrong

If you don't know my name, you'll know it now

I belong bodily to the earth

I'm just wearing old bones

from those that came first

There are many more flames when mine is gone

They will build me no shrines and sing me no songs

I'm a long way from the one that I loved

I've been tending old flames

lamenting what was

Drifting in a land time forgot

If you think that I've changed, you know me not

I belong bodily to the earth

I'm just wearing old bones

from those that came first

I been unraveling since my birth

Gonna wander out there and see what I'm worth

Find me way out there

there's no road that will lead us back

When you follow the strange trails

they will take you who knows where

If I found a way to stay

with you tonight

it would only make me late,

for a date I can't escape
