Listening To Michael Roe...

..."The Boat Ashore" and heard this again for the first time...

I Buried My Heart At Bended Knee
(Mike Roe, Bruce Spencer)

So long ago I drew a line
For myself in the sand
Time after time I moved that line when I crossed it again and again
Here we are back at the same old place
Down on the ground on my knees
But I'm still staring you right in the face

I know that I've been afraid
And I'm getting jaded more and more every day
I don't really care what anybody says
I ain't gettin' closer while I'm running away
How many times on a raging sea
If you see me going down, you gonna rescue me?
If I turn back to you on bended knee will you unlock my cage?
Will you set me free?
Set me free...

I've got a debt that I carry around
Carry around like a weight
It don't relieve me to know
That it's already paid
I've been a long, long way from my home
I went the wrong way
Now it seems I'm bound and determined to roam
Roam on babe

How many times in the burning heat,
If I go down in flames will you rescue me?
If I turn back to you on bended knee will you unlock my cage?
Will you set me free?
Set me free...
