Lyrics

The fields are all barren, wind scrapes over the land
Like a hoarse whisper or a dry cough
Memories are back chasing you down like bloodthirsty hounds
You collapse in the corner with ghosts all around
And they say

What do you want
What do you need
And until you can answer
You'll never be free

But it's only a daydream, not over too soon
Sometimes there's just too much 'after' in your afternoon
It seems the harder you try, the tighter you hold, the further you slip
And you feel like lost luggage from God's summer trip

What do you want
What do you need
And until you can answer
You'll never be free

The ember that smolders deep in your soul
Is feeding the yearning while it's burning a hole
A hole filled with darkness, a hole filled with fear
That stings deep inside with the salt from your tears
Salt from your tears, salt from your tears

You used to think that the answer was held in a kiss, or something like that
But you're beginning to learn that answers like rabbits aren't pulled out of hats
So you keep on searching hot on the trail for your holy grail
But when you try to describe it, your memory fails

What do you want
What do you need
And until you can answer
You'll never be free

What do you want
What do you need
And until you can answer
You'll never be free
You'll never be free
