I can understand a man
Who puts his money in his pocket
It's quiet devotion that feeds a family
But I could listen to a poet
Soul like a bird
Cast his lot in the river
No stone unturned
I'm looking for salvation
Somewhere in between
The spoils of labor and the fruit of dreams
The spoils of labor and the fruit of dreams
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready to go
I turn the music up
It's only stars out here
And follow
Whatever led me here
Because you were an ocean
Pulling me
I swam like a child
And you swallowed me
I swam like a child and you swallowed me
I'm dreaming of a place
Where the flood turns back to rain
A needle hits the echo
And you hear the whole refrain
Because at night while you were driving
The moon lay bare
It's that naked majesty
I couldn't help but stare
And you were looking for salvation
I was listening to NPR
You rolled down the windows
You can't smoke in a rental car
You rolled down the windows, you can't smoke in a rental car
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready to go
And I turn the music up
It's only stars out here
And follow
Whatever led me here
Because you were an ocean
Pulling me
I swam like a child
And you swallowed me
I swam like a child and you swallowed me
The strain just happens
The strain just happens
The strain just happens
The strain just happens
You were an ocean
Pulling me
I swam like a child
And you swallowed me
I swam like a child and you swallowed me
