Lyrics
Once I had freedom to move So I moved through the world With a bag and a girl In a pair of flip flops In a ragged straw hat With no sense of danger A tourist in spite Indulged or admired Sometimes decide An esteemed visitor And although I was strange I was never a stranger Now I'm confined to my flat All I do is think back To my days of being free How I moved through the world With a bag and a girl And nothing constrained me Movement, you are my all You make me rise, make me fall Set me loose when I'd lose You make a difference I choose Before the end of the world Before the fail of our falling Movement, the sea where I swam You were my master, my plan You put my life on your line And your journeys defined Who I was and might be And there was no horizon Now there's no movement at all All I do is recall My obscure vagueries All my days of being free How I moved through the world And there was nothing to stop me Movement, I'm wasting away In the Medusa gaze Of the sickening sun Casting glistening rays Like the bars of a cell On the floor of my kitchen Where is the land beyond lands Where I can walk on the sands Where the islands are curves And the curves I deserve I know I've been here before Though maybe I only dreamed it Where is the city of stairs? The city of layers? The city of prayers? Souks and bazaars? Where I can find what I need Before I even know I need it? Movement, you were my all You made me rise when I fall You let me loose when I'd lose You were the difference I'd choose Before the end of the world When there was no horizon
