What I Need

IN WITH MY HEART
OUT IN MY BRAIN
NOW I'VE MADE A START DO I RUN OR REMAIN
YEARS IN MY POCKET I'LL BE SPENDING THEM SLOW
BUT WHICH WAY DO I GO?
WHICH WAY DO I GO?

INTO MY LUNGS
OUT IN THIS WAY
BREATHING THIS WIND LIKE A HOLY MAN GIVES PRAISE
OUT UPON THE MOUNTAINSIDE A PSALM TO MY SOUL
THIS WAY WILL I GO
THIS WAY WILL I GO

IN FOR TODAY
OUT FOR TONIGHT
MY FINGERS MAKING MOMENTS THAT ARE TIME'S OWN DELIGHT
POUR FOR ME MY DESTINY, I'LL DRINK IT DEEP DOWN LOW
AND THAT IS ALL I KNOW
THAT IS ALL I KNOW

IN WITH MY BRAIN
OUT WITH MY HEART
A PAUPER SITS IN RAGS MAKING MIRACLES IN ART
COLOURS MADE FROM TEARS ALL AS SALTY AS THE SEA
AND THIS I CANNOT BE
THIS I CANNOT BE

IN WITH THE SUN
OUT WITH THE TIDE
THE HEAVENS ALL A-GALLOP AND WE SADDLE UP AND RIDE
SWOLLEN MOON BENEATH US, UP ON PHOEBUS' WINGED STEED
OH IT'S WHAT I NEED
OH IT'S WHAT I NEED
