And I've come to know the wish list of my father I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished I've come to wish aloud Among the over-dressed crowd Come to witness now the sinking of the ship Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it
And I've come to roam the forest past the village With a dozen lazy horses in my cart I've come here to get high To do more than just get by I've come to test the timbre of my heart Oh, I've come to test the timbre of my heart
And I've come to be untroubled in my seeking And I've come to see that nothing is for naught I've come to reach out blind To reach forward and behind For the more I seek the more I'm sought Yeah, the more I seek the more I'm sought
And I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse To offer him the broadside of my jaw I've come here to get broke Then maybe bum a smoke We'll go drinking two towns over after all Oh, we'll go drinking two towns over after all
And I've come to meet the legendary takers I've only come to ask them for a lot Oh they say I come with less Than I should rightfully possess I say the more I buy the more I'm bought And the more I'm bought the less I cost
And I've come to take their servants and their surplus And I've come to take their raincoats and their speed I've come to get my fill To ransack and spill I've come to take the harvest for the seed I've come to take the harvest for the seed
And I've come to know the manger that you sleep in I've come to be the stranger that you keep I've come from down the road And my footsteps never slowed Before we met, I knew we'd meet Before we met, I knew we'd meet
And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches I've come to closely listen to you sing I've come here to insist That I leave here with a kiss I've come to say exactly what I mean and I mean so many things
And you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher And you've come to know me thankless as a guest But will you recognize my face When gods awful grace Strips me of my jacket and my vest And reveals all the treasure in my chestTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
