Floating Back - The Call, Robert Levon Been

I’m floating back

To a deeper need

Some childhood memory

What did you take from me

I’m floating back

To an early stage

Before the birth of fear

Before the birth of rage

I find it hard to speak

So much remains unsung

For there’s a million miles

Between my heart and my tongue

I ask for patience please

Beg for my heart’s release

Haunting memories

Could put an end to me

I’m floating back

I’m floating back

To a younger day

Was this some fantasy

What have you kept from me

I’m floating back

To a hidden past

I tried to hide away

I knew it couldn’t last

When just a look from you

Could bring me to my knees

This haunting memory

Could put an end to me

A bitter cry of need

Some sorrow never ends

I’m floating back to you

I’m floating back again

I’m floating back

I’m floating back

To my father’s chair

Where I began to feel

Where I began to care

I’m floating back

To my mothers home

What did she say to me

Your past now you must own

The sun may never set

This struggle lives and breathes

This haunting memory

Could put an end to me

But love awaits us all

My portion I receive

This haunting memory

Could be the cure for me

I’m floating back
