Elder Sister Plum I've Got A Story lyrics

I've got a story,
Just like you.
Parts of it are false
And parts of it are true.

Sometimes I stop breathing
In the middle of the day,
And everything freezes
Staying in the same place.

Well I've got fortune,
You could say I do,
In unfortunate times,
You could say that too.

Cause I found love
In unlikely ways,
In unsavoury places,
In a real kind face.

And it's the kind of love
That has stuck with me
Despite my restless
Cold, cold feet.

Maybe if I keep running,
I will find something
To stop me in my tracks
When I wasn't even looking.

Kicking up clouds of dust
With my heels,
Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.

Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.

I rose to life
Where the sun does rise
And where it sets
Is where I'll rest.

But in the mean time
I'm bouncing around
Like the faster I move,
Then the safer it sounds.

I've lived in cities
In caves and closets

Where I drank to my health
And my sunken eye sockets.

I've lived on islands
Amongst the trees,
Beside the ocean
And the salty breeze.

I've made some magic
Out of broken hearts,
But starting new
Is still the hardest part.

Maybe if I keep running,
I will find something
To stop me in my tracks
When I wasn't even looking.

Kicking up clouds of dust
With my heels,
Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.

Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.

I don't know how to explain,
And believe me I've tried.
It's like i'm on a wide open plain
And home is just on the other side

But i'm caught in a wicked rip-tide
And it's pulling me away

Maybe if I keep running,
I will find something
To stop me in my tracks
When I wasn't even looking.

Kicking up clouds of dust
With my heels,
Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.

Reaching out my fingers
To touch something real.
