Lyrics
Pilgrim
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?
What words do I use to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years,
When love's been wasted all these years.
Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love.
It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completly out of control.
Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.
