lyrics

This lofty perch
You have achieved is nothing more than hurt
Compounded, built upon and leveled off

That solemn glare
The judgement I won’t face, I’m in the clear
My motives have all been examined dear

Run
To the open-ended minds on solid ground
Who have already got you sorted out
It’s what you needed all along

So I’ll suggest
A few close friends I think would help you best
and any book I’ll find to make you laugh

And run, run
To those you always knew would stand their ground
Who have supported you through finding out
Who, what and when I was to stick around
And how to change me for the best

But she’ll burn what she won’t read!
And their mantras mean nothing
She’ll burn what she won’t read,
Yet often we will sing

In the morningtime
You’ll choose to greet me with a rising tide
and I’ll duck under it to stay alive

So when you’re done
I’ll say again that clearly you have won
And greet you with a kiss and we’ll move on

And we’ll stand
With the good shepherd up on solid ground
and once again lament the fallings-out
It’s what we needed all along
