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 snowfields 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't 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 I once 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: Schafberger/Kötterl/Schafberger/Kötterl

Pre-chorus 2:

Still searching snowfields 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
