When I Get Back On My Feet

from Dreamlike by Eric Stephen Martin

/

lyrics

Forever and farewell to this town
I’m right to say they were wrong about me
I’ll hear that whistle sound
Hop a train homeward bound
When I get back on my feet

The birds will ride the wind and sing their song
White horses will parade down every street
Some will call it beautiful, but it’s more like what I’m owed
When I get back on my feet

Dry up every tear then from my eye
Stitch up every wound where I did bleed
And I will walk behind my pride, have my courage by my side
When I get back on my feet

Stay only in the gentle morning dawn
For the finest of the clouds then I will reach
And the ground I’m laying on will grow flowers when I’m gone
When I get back on my feet

When it doesn’t feel so fresh or so strange
Someday down the line when I’m free
When the plot is needed more
And I snuck out the other door
When the bars are good as closed
So I don’t know where to go
When the birds are done their song
Were they laughing at me all along?
I can still get mine
And you bet I’m gonna try
When I get back on my feet
