This ain't no more than you wanted

from BOREAL by Mark Mitten

lyrics

This ain't no more than you wanted
this ain't no more than you need
the place you think you are going
is the place you will leave

Raise a flag in the city
hold your head up and dream
in times of peace you're a soldier
let your talk be your deed

This ain't no more than you wanted
this ain't no more than you need
the place you think you are going
is the place you will leave

Spy a glass that is broken
drown on a skiff in the sea
like a spirit you're haunted
by the dice and the key

This ain't no more than you wanted
this ain't no more than you need
the place you think you are going
is the place you will leave

So drink a cup full of barley
look to the hills and the trees
your soul is just a reflection
of all the things you will be

This ain't no more than you wanted
this ain't no more than you need
the place you think you are going
is the place you will leave
