I’m bound for simple fortunes I believe
Ain’t no fame or riches that could stay my rambling
But I left her in the hollow of that fabled spring
Shoulda swept her down the summer road with me
The restless soul’s a bitter pace to keep
I left to that lonesome locust song that sang the sun to sleep
The rustling of a thousand wings, The creaking of the canopy
Beneath the weight of everything that must be done
Well, I hope I wake to find my body black and bruised
I hope that I can’t hide the scars that always call me back to you
We opened every wound that night,
running on the rooftop while the silver moon was whispering my name
I’m so sorry babe, I’ve got to go.
I’m bound for simple fortunes I believe
There was ever only one thing that could stay my rambling
But I left her in the hollow of that fabled spring
Shoulda swept her down the summer road with me
Hardly been a mile walking in these shoes
Thought that we were just a-crawlin’ now the soles are wearing through.
We were children chasing fireflies, swimming through the ocean sky
Where every cloud’s a mountain if we choose.
Habibi, this is something new.
So my body it is crossing, yet my thoughts remain.
This secret heart to guard the northern shores of Ponchartrain
With every rain I’ll see you running, steaming on the pavement, funny
How my tongue could fumble with your name.
I’m so sorry babe, I’ve got to go.
Moonlight climbed the steps up to your door
Bodies tangled on the bedroom floor
And they tell me what I’m looking for
I let them tell me what I’m looking for
I’m out here and I’m looking for
Don’t tell me what I’m looking for
The restless soul’s a bitter pace to keep
I left to that lonesome locust song that sang the sun to sleep
We were children itching in the grass,
Holding hands and swearing that
The past is not the half of who we are,
or who we’ll be.
I’m bound for simple fortunes I believe
There was ever only one thing that could stay my rambling
But I left her in the hollow of that fabled spring…
I’m bound for simple fortunes I believe
Ain’t no fame or riches that could stay my rambling
And I know that I will meet you in that fabled spring
And I'll sweep you down the summer road with me.
