Lyrics for Song: World Falls [Live/Curfews]
Lyrics for Album: 1200 Curfews [1995]
'm coming home with a stone, strapped onto my back.
I'm coming home with a burning hope turning all my blues to black.
I'm looking for a sacred hand to carve into my stone.
A ghost of comfort, angels breath - to keep this life inside my chest.
This world falls on me with hopes of immortality.
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me.
I woke up in the middle of a dream, scared the world was too much for me.
Sejarez said, "don't let go, just plant the seeds and watch them grow."
I've slept in rainy canyon lands, cold drenched to my skin.
I always wake to find a face to calm these troubled lands.
This world falls on me with dreams of immortality.
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me.
Now I'm running to the end of the earth
And I'm swimming to the edge of the sea
And I'm laughing
I'm under a starry sky
This world was meant for me.
Don't bury me, carry me.
I wish I was a nomad, an Indian, or a saint.
The edge of death would disappear, leave me nothing left to taint.
I wish I was a nomad, an Indian, or a saint.
Give me walking shoes, feathered arms, and a key to heaven's gate.
Ah this world falls on me
dreams of immortality
everywhere I turn
all the beauty just keeps shaking me
I'm running
(this world falls on me)
to the end of the earth
(with hopes of immortality)
I'm swimming
(everywhere I turn)
to the edge of the sea
(the beauty keeps on shaking me)
and I'm laughing
(this world falls on me)
cause I'm under a starry sky
(hopes of immortality)
this world was meant for me
(everywhere I turn)
I've got hopes of immortality
