lyrics

Now all the dust has settled
Upon what still remains
I hear the county calling me
Back the way I came

No gate is closed before me
No lock requires my key
But every light is dark
And every room is empty

I have been following a ghost
I turned my back on all I know

I saw the bright sky swallowed whole
In jagged jaws of blue and black
And something on the night air told me
I've gone too far now
Can't go back
I feel it sigh among the pines
I see it's silver eye above
I know the black dog crying out
Is my own flesh and blood

I have been following a ghost
I turned my back on all I know

Are you all my sisters
Brothers every one
Do you know the unseen roads
We walked from

Are you all my daughters
Are you all my sons
Do your veins run with the blood
Of wild ones

The ridge of my spine cuts my flesh like a knife
Now I can finally breathe
I gaze through cataracts of unblemished white
Now I can finally see

I have been following my ghost
Somehow I found my way back home
