lyrics

Take my hand, restless stranger
And let thunder die
Your madrigal plays at finer things
Than the wicked world outside
Wicked world outside

Cast me down among your senses
And let your starlings go
Dissemble my tin soldier defenses
And all I've ever known
All you'll ever know

Shake off those solitaire wings
And lay your furies down
One blind step and its all a dream
That keeps me coming round
Keeps me coming round

Take my hand, restless stranger
And let your towers fall
Your augery and talisman
Are no good here at all
No good here at all

Shake off those solitaire wings
And lay your furies down
One blind step and its all a dream
That keeps me coming round
Keeps me coming round

Keeps me coming round
Keeps me coming round
Keeps me coming round
Keeps me coming round
