Slowly fold it over
I can't get any closer
What part of you thinks that it's over
Some part of you might be right

Is there any reason
That the self is so determined
Through space and time
The path uncertain
I'd feel overwhelmed at understanding
But I can't feel much of anything lately
I've gotten colder
This I know
I'm in the garden with the elves & thieves
Holding on to everything I love

If I could fit it in my pocket
If I could close it tight
I'd lock it forever
If there's any reason this wasn't true
I'd find a reason here to follow through
I'd find a way to get to you
I'd follow all the lights through every raging night
I'd find the one who tells it how it is

I can't have it any other way
Can't have it any other way
I can't have it any other way
I can't have it any other way
It's almost like this everyday
The mountains all descending
The citadel is ending
But I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm making moves each day
I wouldn't say I'm always ready
You're near
You're far
You're the light when I can't see you in the dark

I'm in the garden turning all the leaves well over
I can't find you in the wreckage
And I'm hardly ever sober
The guardians all told me
That you matched the geese feather to feather
& every leaf, you gave a name
Every bird you followed
From the east to the west was dressed in velvet
I could never
Be strong enough
To carry you

But if you walk right over
I'll meet you by the fountain where we laid
If this is simple
Well, so be it
I'm just a simple man
With simple reasons
But I'm on my way
I'm on my way
& someday I might find you in the haze
