Billy Joe Shaver - The Believer lyrics

I can't imagine that's my problem I'm searching always for better weather The coast is rough and the tide is running I'll chase my shadow till I remember The fine and free days have gone to storming I spend my time with joy and sorrow But one is dying and one is crying I may not be around tomorrow My dearest friends are total strangers I call them heroes they call me lonely I wish them wisdom and self-destruction And hope some day they'll come to know me The forest grows around my door now And I am dreaming of a meadow Where I may lie in frosty sunlight Far between the earth's grey shadow No, I'm not a god for certain There are steps we all must follow He's a beggar and king babe He's a falcon and a swallow
