The Fisher King - Carrie Newcomer

Chorus: Down the road and to the left

It’s never been any further

To find the thing that you never lost

Who serves the grail

Are you the one that’s common born

are you a fool in many ways

have you searched half of your life

Looking for some holy grail

And did you see it in a dream

a vision once when you were young

Does a circle lead you back

to the place where you begun

Are you the one he left behind

or was it you to finally leave

and the one that always wore

your heart for anyone to see

and brow to brow and side to side

palm to palm and toe to toe

did you really have no idea

how far and deep an echo goes?

Are you the pilgrim on the road

Are you the hermit in the wood

Have you followed what you know

What you want or what you should?

And have you learned a thing or two

Have you wondered at the time

in the dark night of the soul

am I the one you thought you’d find?

Grace and laughter ever after

sorrow folds her hands together

was it all and did you mean it in the dark you’ve always seen

a bright and shining true idea

I am the wound that will not heal

I am the song you cannot sing

I am an endless restless ache

I am, I am the fisher king

All that I can ask of you

is do what small good that you can

speak the words I long to hear

then come meet me where I am
