Lyrics

Chorus:
I'm looking for the future me
Afraid I'll wither on the vine
I'll nurture me so I can be
Delivered there as vintage wine

Verse:
In the darkened woods there the rustling leaves
Plot as thieves of my rising spine
The night touches down down on the thorny path
And on a splintered bridge of paradigms
My deluded mind runs barefoot,

Chorus:
Looking for the future me
Afraid I'll wither on the vine
I'll nurture me so I can be
Delivered there as vintage wine

Verse:
In an open field there a cold wind gusts
The swirling dust is mud on my tongue
A glow reaches out from the distant hills
And on the rocky tracts of the forever young
My curious mind runs barefoot,

Chorus
Bridge:
In this dance I step out of space and time
Into that dream with the Mexican hat
I won't languish like the waning moon
Through the years she's seen to that

Verse:
On a covered porch there a cool breeze blows
The sunset flows into a whisky glass
There's a light that shines like a torch from my eyes
And on the grassy knolls of childhood past
My understanding runs barefoot,

Chorus
