Further Up Further In Lyrics

    I dreamed the wind came to my house
    These are the words fell from his mouth
    "the king you seek you'll find him true
    But only if he rides the road with you"

    I stepped aboard a ship that flew
    It took me to wherever it wanted to
    Far above the land, far above the sea
    The dreamer and the doer agreed to agree

    I was sent to the war, stripped of my power
    Gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower
    I must have cried for an age or more
    'till i saw through tears and i found the door

    High on a cliff, in gorgeous clothes
    A madman danced on the balls of his toes
    Forgetting myself i fell at the feet
    Of the greatest fool i ever did meet

    The stars were bright and magic afoot
    On the summer wind rose the sound of a flute
    I saw the musician - my heart knew him well
    What happens next, no rhyme can tell

    We came to the end of the world one day
    A dolphin swan in a sheltered bay
    I paid to the king what it was i owed,
    Put my face to the wind and my foot on the road

    I find i've wandered far from home
    But home is in me wherever i roam
    I thought i was an hour or a year behind
    But the hours and the years are only time
