lyrics

i broke it down back home a lone a gain
i threw a stone i hit my mark from where i stand
i play my part reluctant 2 pretend
my only stance comes from deep within
my soul and hopes to make me whole

i broke it down my soul be wearing thin
i have to walk from here then back a gain
i send regards for those new to my train
my thoughts R always wandering where i am
i’m wondering a free and anxious man

i broke it down head home again i’ll swim
around those stones so thin for great skipping
i throw toward the sun i’m following
i have a heavy load i’m swallowing
my tongue and i am heading home

i broke it down found bones from former friends
a long a road so far from where i’d been
i picked some up and licked the salt from them
with due respect * i left them where the y lay
and i went on my w ay

i broke i t down back home i roam again
up on a plane it flys me with the wind
into this/these haze/states to where we’re all feeling
i feel amazed to be a part of it
