Lyrics
I’m not an ordinary man
With a customary plan
Ever-traveling thoughts inside of me
In an anxious caravan
Over Narragansett Trails
And across the iron rails
I wander steady among the venturous souls
Crying out with each exhale
Clues
Searching for the truth
Recalling my youth
Trying to make sense of it all
Please
Help me to release
Am I just naive
If I conquer, will it fall
Will it fall
And I stagger across the sand
Clenching burned and blistered hands
My contentment waved in front of me
With a mocking slight-of-hand
Clues
Searching for the truth
Recalling my youth
Trying to make sense of it all
Please
Help me to release
Am I just naive
If I conquer, will it fall
Will it fall
Can’t accept that I could fail
That there may be no Holy Grail
No El Dorado that will ease my pain
No harpoon for this white whale
