Got a new pair of shoes in the mail this morning Got a new set of eyes from a lady in white Cut ties with a mind that's been dragging me under Put darkness in a bottle it turned out to be light Took water from a sinner it turned out to be whiskey Took honey from a saint and it turned out to be wine Left this world for a while looking for the river Found my way on the day that I gave up trying Now I'm walking' the line between rhyme and reason Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time When your bird has flown and the new moons rising Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride When I first woke up, started lookin' for answers In the bottom of a bottle in the dark of the night Tripped on a dream started running in circles Spun around and started running straight into the light But the light was blinding and I ended up standing In the very same place where it all had begun Throwing caution to the wind and giving in to the morning Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Now I'm walking' the line between rhyme and reason Letting go of my handle on the wheel of time When your bird has flown and the new moons rising Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride When your bird has flown and the new moons rising Gotta cut the ties and just let it ride
