I been walking
wherefore am I walking
I been walking


If you see me walking
a-walking a-walking

if you see me walking

Don't avert your eyes

don't turn away
don't turn away
I'm coming to you

oh-oh oh oh
oh-oh oh to you


Living in steps
till I can rest
living in steps

till I'm blessed by you

I and I alone

can but do for you
to twist in my hand
the thorn of thy youth

to draw thy seed
to turn in birth
thy sighs

(living in steps)
thy moans
till we can rest

living in steps
till I'm by you


all I ever wanted

I and I alone

I will wash your feet
and dry them with my hair
I will give to you

every other tear
thy breath thy spear
thy season of mirth

seven steps
until I can rest
seven steps

til I am blessed by you
all I ever wanted
I wanted I wanted

all I ever wanted
I wanted for you


oh-wo-wo ...
oh-wo-wo ...
all I ever wanted

I wanted for you

five steps

till I can rest
five steps
till I'm blessed by you


four steps
till I can rest

four steps
till I'm blessed by you


all I ever wanted
I wanted I wanted
all I ever wanted

I wanted for you

I and I alone

ghost of thy ghost
walk I will walk
a burning stem

to illume thy night
(three steps...)
blood of my blood
bone of my bone
(three steps...)

can but do for you
I and I alone

two steps
till I can rest

two steps
till I'm blessed by you

oh oh oh ...
can but do for you

I and I alone
oh oh oh ...
