The Acorn - Crooked Legs

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

and they whisper prayers to my feet

as 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've 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

not washing the blood that has covered and stained me

Oh to be fooled by the wool that has covered me

oh 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

Oh to be fooled by the wool that had covered me

oh 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
