On My Way
(written by Michelle Malone ©1999 Strange Bird Songs/Ensign Music/ASCAP)
If you saw me on the street, would you look away from me? If my heart was on display, would you turn the other way?
If I was hungry for some truth, would you feed me or would you throw me some change for a coffee or vermouth — See the hole here in my boot — you think it strange, don't you?
Because being with you was like being a toy that you left and forgot in the rain. I waited for you, but you never came through. So, I'm on my way back home
When I see you losing breath, will I lift that anvil of guilt off of your chest? If it was really up to me would I be unfettered and free? Yes, I confess... Would I sacrifice my life for some pie high in the sky ideal? Do I listen to my head if my heart is telling me to turn my heels?
Because being with you was like being alone with a photograph and a telephone. I waited for you but you never came through so I’m on my way back home
