lyrics

Squatting in someone's summer home a big place on the beach
Every night the summer sun makes love to the sea
I go out and walk the dunes at dusk with my bare feet in the sand
Hoping to see a star in flight I wish but I don't command
I wish but I don't command

I fear someone will come here and I'll have no place to hide
Or they'll shutter the windows and lock the doors
And I'll be stuck inside

This isn't my home but I'm used to it here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed

I make do without electricity every shower I take is cold
No credit for serendipity no receipt for the time that I've stold
Now and again there's a knock at the door and I haunt the place like a ghost
Could it be the one that this place is for will I finally meet my host
Will I finally meet my host

I fear that they will come here and I'll have no place to hide
Or they'll shutter the windows and lock the doors
And I'll be stuck inside

This isn't my home but I'm comfortable here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed

This isn't my home but I'm comfortable here
It ain't where I'm from it's just a place I've stayed
I don't want to go but I've got to get out of here
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed
As far as I've come is as far as I've strayed

Squatting in someone's summer home a big place on the beach
Every night the summer sun makes love to the sea

His new album "Dark Matter" is a collection of songs about the underworld journey of the soul, human interconnectedness, and the search for love and meaning in one's life.
