Elder Sister Plum - I've Got A Story lyrics

I've got a story Just like you Parts of it are false And parts of it are true Sometimes I stop breathing In the middle of the day And everything freezes Staying in the same place Well I've got fortune You could say I do In unfortunate times You could say that too Cause I found love In unlikely ways In unsavoury places In a real kind face And it's the kind of love That has stuck with me Despite my restless Cold, cold feet Maybe if I keep running I will find something To stop me in my tracks When I wasn't even looking Kicking up clouds of dust With my heels Reaching out my fingers To touch something real Reaching out my fingers To touch something real I rose to life Where the sun does rise And where it sets Is where I'll rest But in the mean time I'm bouncing around Like the faster I move Then the safer it sounds I've lived in cities In caves and closets Where I drank to my health And my sunken eye sockets I've lived on islands Amongst the trees Beside the ocean And the salty breeze I've made some magic Out of broken hearts But starting new Is still the hardest part Maybe if I keep running I will find something To stop me in my tracks When I wasn't even looking Kicking up clouds of dust With my heels Reaching out my fingers To touch something real Reaching out my fingers To touch something real I don't know how to explain And believe me I've tried It's like i'm on a wide open plain And home is just on the other side But i'm caught in a wicked rip-tide And it's pulling me away Maybe if I keep running I will find something To stop me in my tracks When I wasn't even looking Kicking up clouds of dust With my heels Reaching out my fingers To touch something real Reaching out my fingers To touch something real
