Journey Me Home Lyrics - Singles - Kara Johnstad

I get out of bed 

With you in my head 

I havent seen you for weeks 

Youve been traveling 

Ive been unraveling 

Miles of memories 

And yet something has changed 

Ive been rearranged 

In the time that youve been gone 

Found my keys 

Unlocked my scenery 

And now Im journeying home 

And Im curious 

Ever so curious 

Where you would go if you could travel in me 

Where you would go if you would travel in me 

Would you visit my kings 

And dine on fancy things 

Would you love me little crooked pinky toe? 

Would we stay up all night 

Singing songs of delight 

Lost in love, with no place to go 

I would write you a poem 

Filled with flowers and loam 

In the colors of earth tones and red 

Id plant it, deep in your heart 

And there we would start, 

To live the dreams that dance in our head. 

And Im curious 

Ever so curious 

Where you would go if you could travel in me 

Where you would go if you could travel in me. 

Poetry interlude: 

You asked me where I wanted to go on this years vacation 

To myself, I reply, 

You look up surprised 

But we could go to Paris or Cairo, 

Visit the pyramids, 

Take me to myself , love 

To the temple is that where you want to go? 

Yes, I want to go to the temple and offer my offerings 

I would like to do some deep chanting and panting 

Ive seen all the hotels and motels 

Ive spent hours in a car with a map in my hands 

This vacation, I want to spend hours in bed, 

With you in my hands 

Ive spent hours on a train 

So please let me explain 

Before I pack up the bags 

and close down the house 

Have the pressures of time 

I confess 

I hate going through security 

and being gruffly frisked 

Ill take the risk 

Of no border control 

and lower my guard 

If we simply stay 

In the back yard 

Im tired of moving from town to town 

This vacation, Journey Me Home 

No last minute fancy deals 

No planes to go insane 

No baggage on wheels 

Just skin on skin and one word 

Feel 

We can do the safari thing 

let our wild animals roam 

Born free, as you journey me home 

Youll know where to go 

Go where the water flows 

Maybe we could get a boat and set sail 

Maybe Cairo after all 

I always did want to ride 

a camel 

Song: 

As you drive my back roads 

and speak in secret codes 

the language we spoke as a child 

Youd say 

Iyay ovlay ooyay 

Id say Iyay ovlay ouyay ootay 

Our hearts beating crazy and wild 

Please do ocean me 

Take me out to sea 

Where the gulls do dip and dive 

Leave your footprints on the beach 

Savor this ripe peach 

Nietzsche is dead 

God is so alive 

And Im curious, 

ever so curious 

Where you would go if you could travel in me 

Where you would go if you could travel in me
