lyrics

Wherever my mind wanders
I will dutifully follow, I will, I will
And when my heart grows fonder
The absence I will swallow, I will, I will
Never will I wait again
For luck or chance or fate again
I've been late enough in one lifetime to wallow

Promise me never to promise me
It's a lie, you see, and don't you lie to me
Oh, do you honestly believe your honesty
It's a lie, you see, and don't you lie to me

Whenever I grow tired
The sandman I will shake off, I will, I will
And when I catch a liar
I'll cast her out and take off, I will, I will
Never will I need again
To hope or pray or bleed again
I've been freed now from the path and I can break off

Chorus

Oh, I'll swim in water deeper still
To find if I still float, I will
I'll drown if I have to, just to fill

Chorus
