lyrics

Touchstone

Now don't get no funny ideas,
you better stay right where you are.
You know you spent too many years
always running too far.
Just let your tailbone slip
into the Earth below.
Now let a little blood drip,
there's no better seed you can sow.

And on a scented wave come the song,
a blend of rose and lavender so strong...

Don't be so scared of the stillness,
though nothing's perfect, nothing's wrong.
And your story's just an illness
you been nursing too long.
Now it's time to say what's true,
it's time for the whitest of lies,
cause nothing else will do
when you've lost your best disguise.

Let the comfort take hold
of your scattered, crazed soul,
and when the sun swings low,
get your touchstone back home.

You know I'd hold your hand
if I thought you couldn't go it alone,
but I can see how you stand,
yes I can see how you've grown.
This conversation is over.
It's all been said and done,
and all these voices will lower
until you only hear one.

Let the comfort take hold
of your scattered, crazed soul,
and when the sun swings low,
get your touchstone back home.
