Carrie Newcomer The Fisher King Lyrics

down the road and to the left
it's never been any further
to find the thing that you never lost
who serves, who serves the grail

are you the one that's common born, are you a fool in many ways
have you searched half of your life, looking for some holy grail
and did you see it in a dream, a vision once when you were young
does the circle lead you back, to the place where you begun

chorus

are you the one he left behind, or was it you to finally leave
and the one that always wore your heart for anyone to see
and brow to brow and side to side, palm to palm and toe to toe
had you really no idea, how far and deep an echo goes

chorus

are you the pilgrim on the road, are you the hermit in the wood
have you followed what you know, what you want or what you should
and have you learned a thing or two, and have you wondered at the time
in the dark night of the soul, am i the one you thought you'd find

grace and laughter, ever after
sorrow folds her hands together
was it all and did you mean it
in the dark you've always seen a
bright and shining, true idea

i am the wound that will not heal, i am a song you cannot sing
i am an endless restless ache, i am i am the fisher king
and all that i can ask of you, is do what small good that you can
speak the words i long to hear, and to meet me where i am

chorus
