Odyssey
Music and Lyrics by Paul Lechner
Missed my mark
Never mind just begin
The story always ends
With my radiant sin
Crossing all the borders
Passport intact
Letting go the fear
Of ever coming back
(Chorus)
Order up the wine of deliverance
Damn the mediocre pull of sleep
I’ve seen those who’ve come to the station
Regretfully could not make the leap
With or without sorrow
The parting is real
Cameras cannot capture
The way I feel
Crossing my first border
Desperately aware
Urgently embracing
What is not fair and out there
(Chorus)
Order up the wine of deliverance
Damn the mediocre pull of sleep
I’ve seen those who’ve come to the station
Regretfully could not make the leap
Miles melt away
Become memories
The picture tilts and sways
And strangely suits me
Sites and sounds abound
Some are not so cold
But the cold is better
Than finding what I’m told
(Chorus)
Order up the wine of deliverance
Damn the mediocre pull of sleep
I was one of those who came to the station
You bet I finally made that leap
