I looked up and picked out a map in the sky no need for the nude of the moon as I'm guided by fireflies and they whisper prayers to my feet as I tiptoe through gardens minding the slumber of parakeets and lovers on the way I won't feel the pull of the coming day or the compromise of sleep 'cause I've got a fire on the soles of my feet
I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me not stopping for water or dew covered daisies not waiting for ribbons or medals to praise me not washing the blood that has covered and stained me
Oh to be fooled by the wool that has covered me oh to be led by the light of a melody
I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me I'm watching the road with two young eyes to guide me not looking behind to ensure that the home fires are shrinking the fireflies fade as the city lights find me
Oh to be fooled by the wool that had covered me oh to be led by the light of a melody
I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me I'm watching the road with two young eyes to guide me I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me
