Further Up, Further in - Rapalje

I dreamed the wind came to my house

These are the words fell from his mouth

The king you seek, you’ll find him true

But only if he rides the road with you

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

I stepped aboard a ship that flew

It took me wherever it wanted to

Far above land, far above sea

The dreamer and the doer agreed to agree

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

I was sent to the war, stripped of my power

Gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower

I must have cried for an age or more

'Till I saw through tears and I found the door

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

High on a cliff in gorgeous clothes

A madman danced on the balls of his toes

Forgetting myself I fell at the feet

Of the greatest fool I ever did meet

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

The stars were bright and magic afoot

On the summer wind rose the sound of a flute

I saw the musician, my heart knew him well

What happened next no rhyme can tell

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

We came to the end of the world one day

A dolphin swam in a sheltered bay

I paid to the king what it was I owed

Put my face to the wind and my foot on the road

Further up, further in

Further up, further in

I find I’ve wandered far from home

But home is in me wherever I roam

I thought I was an hour or a year behind

But the hours and the years are only time

Further up, further in

Further up, further in
