Freewheel

Save me from the movies and someone else’s dreams
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out ‘til 6 o’clock and singing like a fool

I’ve only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don’t want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don’t want to lose this

Save my feet from dancing with anyone at all
Worn out shoes because lotus blue is hanging in the hall
You’re a face in the distance I hope to recognise
It’s like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes

I’ve only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don’t want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don’t want to lose this

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
    And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup
    And I’ll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
    Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,
    I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
    Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
    It could not withered be;
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
    And sent’st it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
    Not of itself but thee!

Tied to my heart, so I’ll never let you go
I’m working out my loyalties
In the shadow of the volcano
Tied to my heart
Take the needle to the skin
Plunge it in the deepest part
Just stay there where the ink goes in

But you walk away and step right out of view
So I choose to, never lose you
Though I seem to be
Like this mountain stays forever
Would you stay with me?

Take back this ship, cos it’s creaking in the swell
And I can’t seem to navigate
Can’t seem to reach that old storm bell
If I drown
Oh and I do believe I will
You will still be on my heart
And the fury of the wind is still

But you walk away and step right out of view
So I choose to never lose you
Though I seem to be
Like this mountain, stays forever
Would you stay with me?

Tied to my heart
So I’ll never let you go
I’m working out my loyalties in the shadow of the volcano
Tied to my heart
Take the needle to the skin
Plunge it in the deepest part
Stay there where the ink goes in
Plunge it in the deepest part
Just stay there where the ink went in
