Lyrics for Song: A Tap On My Shoulder
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Quirk
Mid summer night, no moon in the sky
I can't make it right, no matter how I try
Preplanned excursion, symbolic diversion,
I watch from the sidelines, at the side of the road
Helpless I stand there, while the story unfolds
Shadowless figures, race by in the night
A whisper of welcome, and a golden white light call me home
My body lies silent, in the cold morning air
Surrounded by spirits, but there's nobody there
Restless desire, walk towards the fire
The laugh of an angel, and the kiss of a fool
The birth of tomorrow, break all the rules
Pure conversation, without speaking a word
A flashing white light on the wings of a bird call me home.
A lifetime of passion, and a moment of truth
A vision of wisdom, the compassion of youth
The fire still burns, which way will I turn?
Advice to be given, sounds loud and it's true
"why start a journey if you don't see it through?"
A tap on the shoulder, a brush on my face,
I look at my body and wipe the blood off my face and go home
So angels appear, where there's no floor
They hover and linger, then point to a door
They're all trying to tell me, how to survive
They're speaking right to me, and it finally unfolds
A tall darken stranger, that heaven forbodes
My mind's in confusion and then, sensitized
I finally focus and I soon realize to go home
Materialization, right there in the dust
Massive confusion, amongst all the rust
It happened so quickly, how long will this last
I think back on today, how it started all right
I'm stuck in this place, on this cold lonely night
It's suddenly evident, and it's perfectly clear
God 's trying to tell me to just get out of here and go home
^ go home ^
