about

An exploration of returning home to the self, even if that self may be a murky, moving target.

lyrics

I’m gonna make a road
Stone by ugly stone
I know it’s time to go
I’m goin’ back home
Don’t say that I should stay
I’ve paid and paid and paid
Alone most every day
I’ve got to make my way

I don’t have any more time to waste
I’ve got to look freedom in her face
And that’s why
I’m comin’ home to you

I want you to know
The lazy days are done
And there’s a candle in my heart
That’s been burning so low
But the days are dark and long
And the wax is almost gone
So I’m sweeping out a place
To let a truer fire glow

I don’t have any more time to waste
I’ve got to look freedom in her face
And that’s why
I’m comin’ home to you

If there’s a demon on the road
I’ll kill him with my bow
And in the soft morning dew
I’ll kiss his shadow as I go
And with a mind like a beam
nothing stands between
My life my love, my goal,
To make it back home

“Cause I don’t have any more time to waste
I’ve got to look freedom in her face
And that’s why
I’m comin’ home to you
