I can't control this flesh and blood That's wrapped around my bones It moves beneath me like a river Into the great unknown (REPEAT THIS CHORDS) I stepped onto the moving stairs Before I could tie my shoes Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade Who lived and died the blues And his promise made was never clear It just carved itself in me All I saw was frost inside my head On the night he said to me Someday we'll live like horses Free rein from your old iron fences There's more ways than one to regain your senses
