Lyrics
Albatross flying again after
Twenty years in a cage
Passes overseas
Brings a ghost to its knees
Feathers flocking into words on a page
Now I've had faith, but I've also had doubt
And I've seen you slipping slowly in the serpent's mouth
On nights that never happened
Flights that were abandoned
Cut short like a throat
Uninvited to sing
As I walked in the street where you shuffled your shoes
Staring up into windows, sinking down into blues
My soul and cigarette were signing a truce
And it made me feel, for a moment or two
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Clapping dirt to a cloud with his hands
Lost tongue, do you know where it's been?
Tasting poison and flesh
Dragged back from death by the calm of her breath
Taken in the fortress of a lover's caress
A bloodthirsty saint with the soul of a whore
Dancing in the garden where your babies were born
Fields full of farina, gentle Proserpina
Weeping madly as we cling to her storm
As I walked in the street where you shuffled your shoes
Staring up into windows, sinking down into blues
My soul and cigarette were signing a truce
And it made me feel for a moment or two
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Like a pilgrim in the holy land
Clapping dirt to a cloud with his hands
