And I walked, and I walked upon Blackdown And I walked West Sussex sunlight up by dead man's pool Where ma Mudlark and Lewes Stared me down, you drunken fool Old teenage debts engulfed my chest As I contemplate death Put a challenge to its glamor And all its loss and glory Wet afternoon breath was taken deep into my lungs Thinking of the man I must become My story has just begun And I will be returning to myself soon I've been alone for so many Of the great moments in my life Alone like so many At this moment in my life asking Father, father anyway I can help ye? I am only just growing much better to know thee Thank you for all the things you've given to our family Given your whole life to your wife and my sister and me Now I look out north of battle where our ancestors lie in grave West to Breed where the blacksmith put root to our family name And I get proud of my birthright, think of the things that I must leave When I leave behind the city and the living finally Desire, desire, desire Desire, desire deep down inside of me You are not the maker nor the master of me Help me to better support my family And better, better of a brother be Desire, desire deep down inside of me, oh now You are not the wrecker nor the ruler of me Desire, desire deep down in me Yes, I've been alone for too many These great moments in my life Alone like too many but desire, desire Desire you are not the maker of me, oh now All as I walked up on Blackdown
