lyrics

down on the shores of Lake Michigan
I found my way to the priestess
she said up on the peak of Rubidoux
the angels all know they are godless
they bend at their knees, sing for whom was I made
and keep giving the mountains their sermon
but for all of their flying and all of their light
they really are just so human

I made my way through Appalachia
and all of those deserts out west
I laid down my mind, quit trying to hide
how desperately I need my sadness
but in the springtime’s rebirth, when the stars fall to earth
and set fires in wandering souls
I pick up my feet, pack what I want to keep
shove the boulder and watch how it rolls


I am exactly where I said I’d be going
I’m just where I said I’d be
the trees on the shoreline, the wind on the road
have made a wanderer out of me


do you see the flowers in the fields of the great plains states?
do you see the moon pulling waves across the great lakes?
do you sleep soundly in the desert where the world has no sound?
follow me sisters and brothers, follow me down


so pick up the road, take all that I’ve got
you won’t be stopping me now
because one day I heard that sweet whisper of freedom
and I’ll never forget the sound


and I am exactly where I said I’d be going
I’m just where I said I’d be
the trees on the shoreline, the wind on the road
have made a wanderer out of me
the trees on the shoreline, the wind on the road
have made a wanderer out of me
