Kara Johnstad - Journey Me Home lyrics

I get out of bed With you in my head I havent seen you for weeks Youve been traveling Ive been unraveling Miles of memories And yet something has changed Ive been rearranged In the time that youve been gone Found my keys Unlocked my scenery And now Im journeying home And Im curious Ever so curious Where you would go if you could travel in me Where you would go if you would travel in me Would you visit my kings And dine on fancy things Would you love me little crooked pinky toe? Would we stay up all night Singing songs of delight Lost in love, with no place to go I would write you a poem Filled with flowers and loam In the colors of earth tones and red Id plant it, deep in your heart And there we would start, To live the dreams that dance in our head. And Im curious Ever so curious Where you would go if you could travel in me Where you would go if you could travel in me. Poetry interlude: You asked me where I wanted to go on this years vacation To myself, I reply, You look up surprised But we could go to Paris or Cairo, Visit the pyramids, Take me to myself , love To the temple is that where you want to go? Yes, I want to go to the temple and offer my offerings I would like to do some deep chanting and panting Ive seen all the hotels and motels Ive spent hours in a car with a map in my hands This vacation, I want to spend hours in bed, With you in my hands Ive spent hours on a train So please let me explain Before I pack up the bags and close down the house Have the pressures of time I confess I hate going through security and being gruffly frisked Ill take the risk Of no border control and lower my guard If we simply stay In the back yard Im tired of moving from town to town This vacation, Journey Me Home No last minute fancy deals No planes to go insane No baggage on wheels Just skin on skin and one word Feel We can do the safari thing let our wild animals roam Born free, as you journey me home Youll know where to go Go where the water flows Maybe we could get a boat and set sail Maybe Cairo after all I always did want to ride a camel Song: As you drive my back roads and speak in secret codes the language we spoke as a child Youd say Iyay ovlay ooyay Id say Iyay ovlay ouyay ootay Our hearts beating crazy and wild Please do ocean me Take me out to sea Where the gulls do dip and dive Leave your footprints on the beach Savor this ripe peach Nietzsche is dead God is so alive And Im curious, ever so curious Where you would go if you could travel in me Where you would go if you could travel in me Outro: Journey Me Home Journey Me Home Oh, Love Journey Me Home Journey Me Home Journey Me Home Oh, Love Journey Me Home
