Restless Fugitive - Willy Mason

Walking home all burned and broken

Oh, you restless fugitive

With the front door, my heart opens

Oh, you restless fugitive

Once inside, words are spoken

Oh, you restless fugitive

Asking how to mend the broken

Oh, you restless fugitive

Tell us how they brought you down

Oh, you restless fugitive

And why d’you let them hang around?

Oh, you restless fugitive

Tell us when you left the earth

Oh, you restless fugitive

And promise next time you’ll call first

You restless fugitive

I feel the need to ask forgiveness

You restless fugitive

I didn’t act on things I witnessed

Oh, you restless fugitive

Helpless as I watched them drown

Oh, you restless fugitive

Now I’ve turned the boat around

Oh, you restless fugitive

And how I felt the shackles round me

Oh, you restless fugitive

When I left this world behind me

Oh, you restless fugitive

I thought that heaven there would find me

Oh, you restless fugitive

But heaven’s in the town that born me

Oh, you restless fugitive

Oh, you restless fugitive

Oh, you restless fugitive

Oh, you restless fugitive
