Breathing the Soil Lyrics


(Music & Lyrics by C. Kötterl)

Verse 1:

Scattered memories on a dusted shelf

Exhibited obviously only

To make sure that your so-called experience of life

Is Displayed for people's envy

This is all your life can offer

For I know these feet never hurt like mine

But it makes me release all the pain from within

A shape where I'm free of fear and sin

Pre-chorus 1:

In search for snow fields and oases

And all that's in between

Verse 2:

Perambulate all known terra firma

From Ayer's Rock to Cheop's Lair

Wash of the sand in Amazon River

And desiccate in the Valley of Death

All the things I need to be

Can not be grabbed by mortal hands

They are locked so deep within my soul

Never to be taken away from me

Chorus:

I follow my heart to take me home

Just to leave again and continue to roam

Verse 3:

Time after time I come back to the place

Where once I left and I will leave again

For I will not rest till I know

What made me choose this path

Nothing compares to learn the beauty of it all by yourself

Chorus:

I follow my heart to take me home

Just to leave again and continue to roam

Leads: Sheep Berger / Kötterl / sheep Berger / Kötterl

Pre-chorus 2:

Still searching snow fields and oases

And all that's in between

Chorus:

I follow my heart to take me home

Just to leave again and continue to roam
