The Real Way Out

You were the blood kissed by the thorn
I was the wind in the leaf
Bent at the eye of the storm
North at the pole repelled and drawn
I wanted to fall or to be reborn
Fall or to be reborn
I tried to be brave you tried to be strong
You said I was wise like a king
More like a fool all along
I wanted to drown in the dust of a drought
I wanted in when the real way was out
In when the real way was out
cnd so I ran but nowhere fast
I was the hare in the lights
cnd the lead that fired up the glass
The way was dark and I should have passed
You were the first through and I was the last
The first through and I was the last
Tides always turn dipping away
I was the wing in flight
Dying to return some day
But I couldn't leave nor could I stay
Deliver me I used to say
Deliver me I used to say
Once more to the fore but for what cause
I heard a heartbeat and then a pause
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
