Take away my inhibitions Take away my solitude Fire me up with your resistance Put me in the mood Storm the walls around this prison Leave the inmates Free the guards Deal me up another future From some brand new deck of cards Take the chip off of my shoulder Smooth out all the lines Take me out among the rustling pines Till it shines
Like an echo down a canyon Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance Not the words I hear I've been too long on these islands I've been far too long alone I've been too long without summer In this winter home Still if we can make the effort If we take the time Maybe we can leave this much behind Till it shines
See the rich man lost and lonely Watch him as he dines Sitting there just testing all the wines Till it shines
