I looked up and picked out a map in the sky
No need for the nude of the moon
As I'm guided by fireflies
They whisper prayers to my feet
I tiptoe through gardens minding
The slumber of parakeets

And lovers on the way
I won't feel the pull of the coming day
Or the compromise of sleep
'Cause I got a fire on the soles of my feet

I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me
Not stopping for water or dew covered daisies
Not waiting for ribbons or medals to praise me
Now washing the blood
That has covered and stained me

Ohh, to be fooled by the wool
That has covered me
Ohh, to be led by the light of a melody

I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me
I'm watching the road
With two young eyes to guide me
Not looking behind to ensure
That the home fires are shrinking
The fireflies fade as the city lights find me

Ohh, to be fooled by the wool
That had covered me
Ohh, to be led by the light of a melody

I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me
I'm watching the road
With two young eyes to guide me
I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me
I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me
