about

A song about welcome, imperfection, friendship, hope.

lyrics

I learned to dance because you filled me with wine

Each time we meet we seem to have a nice time

I tried to move like a Vitruvian man

Except they’re perfect and they move like nobody can



This is a good thing if you can keep the thing strong

I make my mistakes, this is why I belong

I learned to move like those Vitruvian men

The imperfect kind that stumble and then lean on a friend



When I come back in from the cold

When I have been bought and I have been sold

When I come back in from the cold

When I have been lost, when I should be home



I took a walk today and spoke with a man

Who asked me to meditate and see a higher plan

I got caught up and drank alone by the park

I think I long for something close to heal this hole in my heart



I know its late but I’m not tired

Please put some more wood on the fire

I refuse regret for when I’m old

When I come back in from the cold



I took a walk today and spoke with a painting on the wall

He stepped out of the frame and then we went along the hall

And in the garden we got down on our knees

He poured some honey down my throat and he said Go and be free



This is a good thing if you can keep the thing strong

I make my mistakes, this is why I belong

I learned to move like those Vitruvian men

The imperfect kind that stumble and then lean on a friend
