Lyrics

At a crossroad, see the sky
Slowly twisting as the world rolls by
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have my fill of wishing tonight
Wanderer tell me why
Brave men blush and young girls cry
Rich men push and poor men pull
Buried promises from their souls
I want to do what I think I should
Carve my coffin out of juniper wood and
Build my house of sticks and sand
When it falls I won’t give a damn
All the ocean in a broken cup
Pour and pour, still it don’t fill up
Wind on the water could mean rain
Thunderbolts ripping up the plain
Wind in the firmament wild and free
Bring down justice in the seventh degree
Roll you thunder, blow you horn
Bright full tones from the thunder born
I want to do what I think I should
Carve my coffin out of juniper wood and
Build my house of sticks and sand
When it falls I won’t give a damn
It’s said and done
The moment passed
Recall in darkness
How it went so fast
Had no time
To rescue my dreams
From the confluence
Of swollen streams
That meet the sea
In joyous shout
And mingle their waters
As the tide rolls out
Wanderer shine on high
Brightest star in the midnight sky
Swing down low, the night so black
Ace of diamonds in the zodiac
