The Real Way Out

You were the blood kissed by the thorn
I was the wind in the leaf bent at the eye of the storm
North at the pole repelled and drawn
I wanted to fall or to be reborn
Fall or to be reborn

I tried to be brave you tried to be strong
You said I was wise like a king
More like a fool all along
I wanted to drown in the dust of a drought
I wanted in when the real way was out
In when the real way was out
In when the real way was out
In when the real way was out

So, in ran, with no other thoughts
I was the hare in the lights
And the lead that fired up the glass
The way was dark and I should have passed
You were the first through and I was the last
You were the first through and I was the last

Tides always turn dipping away
I was the wing in flight
Dying to return some day
But I couldn't leave nor could I stay
Deliver me I used to say
Deliver me I used to say

Once more to the fore but for what cause
I heard a heartbeat and then a pause
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
Go where the real way is yours
