And I have bound myself, to your bearings My love is a nesting bird, lodged in the breast of her Lace up your boots tied to the jagged line Of a million different lives, under the leeward side
'Cause I want to be someone, worthy of your conversation The madness in the moonless night So shake off your leeward side
And everything that I did or did not do In the miniature of my life, has a lineage back to you And some will sit on their hands to spite their feet But one day I know I'll see, you dancing away from me
'Cause I want to be someone worthy of your conversation The madness in the moonless night So shake off your leeward side We all want to be someone, in the miniature of your life The madness in the wounded sky, so shake of your salvation
And you want more, you will want more You will want more than I can offer you I bear you from my shore To my skin, to my bones, down to my very core The call you heed is one I will not follow
And one day you will unfold and fall into the untold And one day you'll long to be dancing away from me But under the hollow skies past where the cells divide And until the day I die I'll be your leeward side
