The Swell Season - Fitzcarraldo (live) lyrics

Here, back, down a long and straight track I have chose the long road - That leads me to god knows So I can't stop right now Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter Lose their faith and slide But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day It's the first of the ascension It's a sad way we've flown after the storm And her last words were "I was only thinking of you" In my olden days I was a slave Well now it's time for to sound your voice And capture what you're after My ship was sold right up the river But I'm not going down here This journey isn't over It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you" In my olden days I was a saint Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter Like lapdogs that stride that mystery And her last words were "I'll see you down in history" It's the only way that we can go I shall eclipse you It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo And I don't want to pray for you In the name of something true
