The humming to the moon is all I need Walk along the splinters of twilight that bleed Following the wanderers code All I need is one for the road All the stories that I heard All the stories that we told We live by the luck that we roll We will live by your word And we will die in the mould While the crack in the sky makes us old The life that I left is far behind Believing I can find some peace of mind No strings attached no contract signed Just a place for me to unwind We keep on walking along the open fields Along the back woods where the branches yield
