| [00:12.54] |
Wherever we go, we'll never be lost |
| [00:14.95] |
Some follow the compass rose, |
| [00:16.60] |
some follow the cross |
| [00:17.91] |
Me, I follow roads compulsively till sirens call me off |
| [00:21.07] |
Then I wander, eyes closed, following song |
| [00:24.29] |
The river's a hymnal and the leaves are applause |
| [00:26.79] |
Trees sing in whispers with the wind pulling their arms |
| [00:29.81] |
Hold still and listen, your hand on my heart |
| [00:32.86] |
If you need them these beacons will lead you back to the start, yup |
| [00:36.45] |
No axe has seen these woods since before your father stood |
| [00:39.16] |
The path is beaten good from the feet of all who wandered through it |
| [00:42.27] |
Old growth holds hope, let the brambles scrape your skin |
| [00:45.19] |
Scars are story books, blood will wash away your sins |
| [00:48.36] |
Now let that sun slip, then let that moon rise |
| [00:51.13] |
Follow in no footsteps, listen for the true guides |
| [00:54.14] |
Woods will play tricks upon pretty blue eyes |
| [00:56.49] |
Is that glimmer the river or your village finally brought back to life? |
| [01:01.97] |
Follow me tonight |
| [01:04.89] |
I'll show you what it's like |
| [01:08.02] |
To be alive |
| [01:11.74] |
I know, it seems like we're all lost |
| [01:15.50] |
But we see the secrets, we know the unknown |
| [01:18.53] |
Know the unknown, know the unknown |
| [01:23.67] |
Keep close, hold my hand girl, just be strong |
| [01:27.64] |
We can follow this river right back to your home |
| [01:30.66] |
Back to your home, back to your home |
| [01:36.27] |
At a palace in versailles, 400 years before this |
| [01:39.20] |
They were packing up supplies, preparing for a long trip |
| [01:42.11] |
They may not survive, many of them know this |
| [01:45.07] |
But they would rather die than to leave the questions open |
| [01:47.54] |
So this is why we try, we bet it all on hopeless |
| [01:50.63] |
And swim against the tide until our every bone is broken |
| [01:53.69] |
A sinking ship is still a ship till the captain spoke the obit |
| [01:56.71] |
Till the crew has flew and crow's nest slips silent beneath the ocean |
| [01:59.88] |
We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that never stop |
| [02:02.54] |
An anchor's just a coffin nail waiting for the hammer drop |
| [02:05.50] |
It holds you by the ankles till it pulls you to the |
| [02:08.12] |
Acheron Trade stable to be able to slip out under devil's thumb |
| [02:11.94] |
Keep your acres, my home is where my hat is hung |
| [02:14.65] |
On postcard printed paper and love notes from the latice rungs |
| [02:17.62] |
Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static ones |
| [02:20.61] |
It's every drifter's confirmation, this world is just ravishing |
| [02:24.10] |
I know, it seems like we're all lost |
| [02:27.46] |
We can follow this river right back to your home |
| [02:30.54] |
River back home, river back home |
| [02:35.40] |
I know, it seems like we're all lost |
| [02:40.27] |
But we see the secrets, we know the unknown |
| [02:42.49] |
Know the unknown, know the unknown |
| [02:47.63] |
Keep close, hold my hand girl, just be strong |
| [02:51.30] |
We can follow this river right back to your home |
| [02:54.47] |
Back to your home, back to your home |
| [02:59.59] |
I know, it seems like we're all lost |
| [03:03.16] |
But we see the secrets, we know the unknown |
| [03:06.02] |
Know the unknown, know the unknown |
