'Till their belly's burst ignorance bliss
Give me a rusty ol' goat well trampled and soaked
Is as far as their sorry eye sees
So when the waves come crashin' in
But don't let me die still wondering
So no life long regrets, only well feathered steps
I'll gray with the clay seven days till the day
Until these shoes I can no longer shine
Blowin' which way I see fit
Heaven's to blame so on that I'll abstain
But take my advice, you'll have to bury me twice
But don't let me die still wondering
Slammed every open door
I'll swim as the ocean swims
Though I've been that face before
So don't let me die still wondering
What it was I left behind?
But don't let me die still wondering
I want a race well run ahead of the gun
What it was I left behind?
'Cause the first time I won't rest easily
Though the voices I no longer hear speak
With a dance before the far finish line
Never they roam a wanderless home
But don't let me die still wonderin'
So I'll do as I please like the well-tempered breeze
Squandered once scattered beliefs
From God's golden plate begrudgers they eat
What it was I left behind?
When they throw me on the potter's scrap heap
Until these ashes and blood mingle deep
What it was I left behind?
Best clean the church from my cracked fingernail
Out with the morning tide then back for my tea
On Grafton's Arcade pours the rich commerce rain
