Pilgrim Of The Return
click here to play song

There is no place left to go to
I can call my Holy Land
‘less it brings a piece of childhood
and a memory I can hand to my lover.
To you, my lover.

Don’t take me far away;
I’m only here to stay
A Pilgrim of the Great Return.

When you change the way you look at things,
all the things you look at change.
Every time I come to return,
I arrive for the first time, again.

Where’s a pilgrim left to go to
‘cept for deep inside himself?

I’ve wandered through Jerusalem
where blood and stone collide,
been half way round the universe
and still I’d rather lie
with my lover.
With you, my lover.

When you change the way you look at things,
all the things you look at change.
Every time I come to return,
I arrive for the first time, again.
Again. Again. First time, again.
