I been walking 
Wherefore am I walking 
I been walking 

If you see me walking 
A-walking a-walking 
If you see me walking 

Don't avert your eyes 
Don't turn away 
Don't turn away 
I'm coming to you 
Oh-oh oh oh 
Oh-oh oh to you 

Living in steps 
Till I can rest 
Living in steps 
Till I'm blessed by you 

I and I alone 
Can but do for you 
To twist in my hand 
The thorn of thy youth 
To draw thy seed 
To turn in birth 
Thy sighs 
(Living in steps) 
Thy moans 
Till we can rest 
Living in steps 
Till I'm by you 

All I ever wanted 

I and I alone 
I will wash your feet 
And dry them with my hair 
I will give to you 
Every other tear 
Thy breath thy spear 
Thy season of mirth 
Seven steps 
Until I can rest 
Seven steps 
Til I am blessed by you 
All I ever wanted 
I wanted I wanted 
All I ever wanted 
I wanted for you 

Oh-wo-wo 
Oh-wo-wo 
All I ever wanted 
I wanted for you 

Five steps 
Till I can rest 
Five steps 
Till I'm blessed by you 

Four steps 
Till I can rest 
Four steps 
Till I'm blessed by you 

All I ever wanted 
I wanted I wanted 
All I ever wanted 
I wanted for you 

I and I alone 
Ghost of thy ghost 
Walk I will walk 
A burning stem 
To illume thy night 
(Three steps) 
Blood of my blood 
Bone of my bone 
(Three steps) 
Can but do for you 
I and I alone 

Two steps 
Till I can rest 
Two steps 
Till I'm blessed by you 

Oh oh oh 
Can but do for you 
I and I alone 
Oh oh oh
