I came from a fever, bastard child Spent my time flying high and running from my home I didn't know which way to go Which was right or which was wrong So I took any road that came along It was five feet of road to the mountains that I climbed The mountains inside from the valleys that I hide Five feet of knowing And the rest without signs But a bird on my shoulder And you on my mind Like a lone wolf in the woods Roaming for it's kind A barfly in the alley way Waiting for night time My love I know you I'd find Sweet as the Moon Across the river you'll shine Like a ribbon of gold toward the pine Was five feet of road Through the desert that I'd crossed The ice in my bones And the demons I had fought Five feet of feeling proud and the rest left a hollow sound A hollow sound and a pound in my heart's canyon My canyon Was five feet of road Across the ocean that I'd cried I held on to my hope A ball gone untied Was five feet of knowing And the rest without signs But a bird on my shoulder And you on my mind
