lyrics

Vagabond

if i were another person
and i’d lived a different life
maybe i'd have traveled often
maybe brought along my wife

i would razz my pals from college
my close family i’d adore
i would treasure every christmas
grateful to have had one more

now outside the fire rages
while inside a fever clings
such a vagabond of atoms
once i felt the beating wings

if i were another person
i’d have followed straight lines through
one clear solid path from childhood
static even as i grew

i would see myself in pictures
hey of course that’s basic me
never broken never searching
being who i’d always be

now outside the fire rages
while inside a fever clings
such a vagabond of atoms
once i felt the beating wings

if i were another person
i’d be proud of my gold plaque
born into a deep belonging
not soul driven by some lack

i’d have made a proud godfather
trusted deacon of the church
i would tend my blooming garden
nowhere near this naked perch

now outside the fire rages
while inside a fever clings
such a vagabond of atoms
once i felt the beating wings
