lyrics

your luck and your life alone
ain't nobody can touch you
you can't go lying if you don't feel
tingling down to your bones
when she's so sincere
so fearless
it's calling you back again
like a tune so often played
it means nothing now
but you go
it's another game to play
do you remember what to say,
what to show?

you're breaking the bank to ride
on the sound of the feeling
full sails, high seas
you'll be chasing it 'til you die
your mother's fallen angel
of deeper wonders than the waves
it's a killing you're out to find
a lost soul's bounty
buried in the weary miles
you go
so baby break me clean in two
one for the highway, one for you
a shadow

struck out on the crooked path
a sweet calypso stole my will
and filled my glass
but it's the finer things leave you dry
once you learn how kindness steals
and beauty lies

stolen away to roam
in the quiet of the morning
in the wild of your mind
see the breakers chasing the foam
the cold expanse
that brought you
it's calling you back again
north wind of the winter
east wind of the rain
and snow
where the pushers play your scars
to the tune of steel guitars
at the show

struck out on the crooked path
a sweet calypso stole my will
and filled my glass
but it's the finer things leave you dry
once you learn how kindness steals
and beauty lies
