[Verse 1] I been a'walking Wherefore am I walking I been a'walking If you see me walking A'walking a'wandering If you see me walking Don't ever turn your eye Don't turn away don't turn away I'm coming to you [Chorus] Eleven steps 'til I can rest Eleven steps 'til I'm blessed by you [Verse 2] I and I alone can but do for you To twist in my hand the thorn of thy youth To draw thy seed to turn in birth Thy sighs thy moans I and I alone [Chorus] Nine steps 'til I can rest Nine steps 'til I'm blessed by you [Verse 3] I will wash your feet and dry them with my hair I will give to you every other tear Thy mouth thy spear thy season of mirth [Chorus] Seven steps until I can rest Seven steps 'til I'm blessed by you [Verse 4] All I ever wanted, I wanted, I wanted All I ever wanted, I wanted, I wanted Thy highs thy lows I and I alone Ghost of thy ghost walk I will walk A burning stem to illume thy night [Chorus] Five steps 'til I can rest Five steps 'til I'm blessed by you Four steps 'til I can rest Four steps 'til I'm blessed by you Three steps 'til I can rest Three steps 'til I'm blessed by you Two steps 'til I can rest Two steps 'til I'm blessed by you [Outro] Blood of my blood bone of my bone Can but do for you I and I alone
