Lyrics

Just because love and loss
Forces the song from your lips
Does not make it a good song
That ain't the trick
Words can be so carelessly constructed
They can be toppled with a kiss
Do they cling so honestly
To the one that you address?
Fugitive song
Come home to me
Fugitive song
Come home to me
Will I chase the spirit
Through blinding defeat?
Or do I simply wait
To pinch the leaflet?
Wisdom sifting through the breeze
I feel the space between all things
Is this just an excuse
For poetic distance?
Fugitive song
Come home to me
Fugitive song
Come home to me
You hold your guitar
Like a rebel exile
You just gleaned the suffering
From the 21st century
What happened to dance?
And the freedom of any ism?
You know it found the underground
And a taste for cannibalism!
Fugitive song
Come home to me
Fugitive song
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Written by: Luka Kuplowsky, Rainer Maria Rilke
