My Lady Soul
Set my ship a-sailing, she pulled me like a star, and oceans rose like castles all around. I lay below where ladders start, the rag and bone store of the heart, and waited for my ship to run aground. I woke upon a shoreline and listened for your voice, eventually I raised my head to see; and all the clouds still glowered down, and demon wings beat all around, but my faith will take me on to thee. I’m looking for my lady soul; when the world is empty and there’s no place to go. The source of all the secrets, a figure of the infinite, the key to all the truth I need to know. Craving your affinity, will I find divinity? I just wanna know, my lady soul. I walked across the desert, to the darkness of my heart, and all the storms just pour into my mind, and when I fell at last to pray I heard a voice inside me say ‘she has been beside you all the time.’ I’m looking for my lady soul; when the world is empty and there’s no place to go. Well, come water this dry land and watch my spirit grow; with the last breath of the man that I am, I’m calling for my lady. Calling, well I’m calling you. I’m looking for my lady soul; when the world is empty and there’s no place to go. Well, I drank from Tristan’s cup, and now I can’t let go; with the last breath of the man that I am, I’m calling for my lady soul. With the last breath of the man that I am, I’m calling for my lady soul. With the last breath of the man that I am, I’m calling for my lady.
