Lyrics:

Here's to the lone and wayward son,
For to love is to leave
For to run like a rolling stone
I fell in with men who were wicked in the end
As we roam by and by so these crimes multiply

See this wayward son, boy
May you live to run another day
Dark is the heart
And dreams will come
To the swift and the dead
To the poor and the wayward son
My love can't you see just what's happening to me
All I touch turns to sand
Slipping out of my hand

I can see the future in your eyes
Shining like a million skies,
Over all, over all my petty crimes,
I've a built a dream
I know you should hate me,
But you celebrate me every time I'm on your side,
My eyes open wide,
The future's winging like a bird out over the void
And all my petty crimes and curses,
They are destroyed

I know you should hate me,
But you elevate me up into the stratosphere,
I no longer care that I am terrified, alright,
Yet you are the cure,
'Cause all my petty crimes and curses,
They disappear.

I can feel the future in your skin,
Catch the spirits as they spin,
All around, all around my petty crimes
I've built a tree
I know you should hate me,
But you rearrange me
Coming off the starting line,
A hammer and twine,
The future is winging like a bird
Out over the void
And all my petty crimes and curses they are destroyed.

Now a serpent spoke to me,
He was hanging from a pale and nameless tree,
Upon the plain, where the gods are all insane,
His voice was like the wind that blows,
A thousand crows all rising into flight
Upon the night, alright.

So now I left him in his tree,
Stole some horses,
Took the road that runs in circles to the sea,
But the snake he followed me,
So I hopped a ship,
A silver seed,
Past galaxies and stars we speed,
To endless planets, worlds unknown

Where will you go,
When our love's gone?
When this world of ours is nothing more than a long lost song?
This road that we're on, is it where we both belong?
As the years disappear will you wait for me here?
See this wayward son, boy
May you live to run another day
