I woke today and it fell into place
With an easy and natural grace
I realised what I'd been searching for
And what it was that made me run for the door
And in that moment I felt so free
I was everything I wanted to be
And everything I ever desired
Shines inside me like a fire
And now it's over I wish I could describe it to you
But there are no words to convey it
I'm on a journey and I wish I could take you with me
When we go our own separate ways
Only I know what truly makes me run, and that's the way I'll keep it
Every day of the week I come back for more
Every day of the week I bring home the corn
Every day of the week I bang my head on the wall
'Cos one of these days all the bricks will fall
I know I seem like a bit of a mystery
But if you only knew of my history
You'd hear stories you'd scarcely believe
Tales of intrigue and mischief
A spider's web of alibi and disguise
Where each day brings a fresh new surprise
A new town and new circumstances
Breed new vendettas and romances
And now you know this I wish I could describe it to you...
And so, not long to go, I must once more hit the track
Kiss my girl goodbye, and pack my life into a bag
And journey over the hill to find another pot of honey
And look for another reason why there's more to life than money
I'll keep on wandering till the end of my days
To places where no-one knows my face
Towns and cities and countries and states
The world creates and disintegrates
We're all travelling, inside or outside
And I've run out of reasons to hide
We can run and we can be free
And see as far as we want to see
And now I know this I wish I could describe it to you...
