Immigrant

Immigrant - The Peter Malick Group

All stains upon my dishes

It's like the veins upon my hands

Are as stubborn as the wishes

One day stand like where you stand

To feel all my roots go downward

Root me firm to the cold dark land

I've been makin' my life simple

I've livin' been hard and bright

But it doesn't stop the danger

Plugs the holes in the dark at night

And it's sense of such a torment

Till I'm 30 miles in flight

So I will always be an immigrant

Fear I'm fallin' on the sea

Always findin' how just what you meant

When you said nothing can find us comin' free

So I got a second story

On a sunny piece of land

And I set it up like your house

Holding tight to what I can

But it seems the wood then varies

One as stable as a plant

So I will always be an immigrant

Fear I'm runnin' fading fast

And I'm findin' how just what you meant

When you said nothing you can find is gonna last

Tell a mission and I'll tell you

What a little local color brings

Tell him fear and all the local

On the mountain where I sing

He comes flyin' off a coastline

Makes a cold dark caverns bring

I will always be an immigrant

And my favors on the wind

And I'm findin' now just what you meant

And I'm looking back on where I've been
