[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
