Lyrics

I never knew my mother’s touch
And father is no father to me
All of my life I’ve had a notion of
Someone I’ve yet to meet

Of better things and better answers
Of stronger winds and death in reverse
I think there is a deeper magic that’s
Somehow in the curse

Are you the one putting mad ideas in my head?
Cause everyone is telling me to put this all to bed

Oh I was born simply to be
Sent off into a stranger’s embrace
To give my body for a child
Just like my mother’s fate

So why would I be afraid of skipping to the other side?
And finding out what valleys and rivers lay behind?
Oh why would I be afraid of skipping to the other side?
And finding out what valleys and rivers lay behind?

All of my life I’ve been preparing
To transcend this bitter earth
I know I’ll leave nothing behind
That won’t come and follow I’m sure

Are you the one who is beckoning me on to something true?
Or is it all just an emptiness behind the curtain blue?
Are you the one who is beckoning me on to something true?
Or is it all just an emptiness behind the curtain blue?

There is only one way to know, and I’m ready to go
There is only one way to know, and I’m ready to go

There is only one way to know, and I’m ready to go
