[Verse 1]
I had to walk off, Jim
With blood in my eye
Had to watch me and my friends
From my hometown malfunction
And we couldn't say why
If we could only reveal
The shame that we feel
And learn how to deal
Naturally
[Verse 2]
Rode my boat to the shore
There was no one to baptize
Had the wine from the good Lord
And the coat from the World War
I had the perfect disguise
And everybody but me
Saw what I couldn't see;
You had the right to agree
Naturally
[Chorus]
At night, I've been walking the valley
From the hearth to the hippodrome
Overthrown
I'm taking my lеave from a world where I don't bеlong
Even the swans out here don't sing their own songs
[Post-Chorus: Brad Barr & Ariel Engle]
(I've been trying)
I've been trying to wrap my arms around it
(Wrap my arms around it)
But my head don't always feel like I'm handling it (Handling it)
Oh, without you
And all that you do
Well, I wouldn't be me
Naturally
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
At night, I've been walking the valley
From the hearth to the hippodrome
Overthrown
I'm taking my leave from a world where I don't belong
Even the swans out here don't sing their own songs
[Post-Chorus: Brad Barr & Ariel Engle]
(I've been trying)
I've been trying to wrap my arms around it
(Wrap my arms around it)
But my head don't always feel like I'm handling it (Handling it)
Oh, without you
And all that you do
Well, I wouldn't be me
Naturally
[Refrain]
Mh
Yeah, I wouldn't be me
Oh, ooh-yeah, hm
Yeah, I wouldn't be me
Naturally
(Wouldn't be…lied on…)
(Relied on)
[Bridge]
There's been so many friends I've relied on (Relied on, cried on)
So many shoulders I've cried on (Cried on, cried on, cried on)
So many buzzes I've tied on (Tied on, tied, tied on)
So many crosses I've died on (Died on, died, died on)
There's been so many friends I've relied on (Relied on)
So many shoulders I've cried on (Died on)
There's been so many friends I've relied on (Relied on, relied, relied on)
'Til someone come along and turned the light on (Light)
[Instrumental Outro]
