Returning to Myself

[Verse 1]

Is there some freewheeling watcher

Shooting marbles in the sky?

Holding your years between their fingers

Watching it burn 'til the fire dies

Why is it heroic to untether?

How is alone some holy grail?

And if we really come and go unknown

Couldn't I find myself in jail?

[Chorus]

Oh, keeper, how I love you

I love you and you and you

Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do

But it's the only thing to do

[Chorus]

Oh, my darlings, how I love you

I love you and you and you

Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do

But it's the only thing to do

[Verse 2]

There is no honor in the pilgrimage

Until a soul returns

To hold another's hand and then

And only then, it learns

That life is like a stone

Only skipping for a time

Oh, it never really holds its own

It'll never see the other side

[Chorus]

And I was born to love you

I love you and you and you

Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do

Oh, returning to myself is just returning me to you

That's the only thing I wanna do, ooh

Ooh, ooh
