Jim O’Rourke
That’s The Spirit
[Verse 1]
Lone star light the lowlands
Show up every stone
So far only you can
Lead us all back home

[Chorus 1]
If they could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam
To sleep enraptured, waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home's in the westward direction of my own resurrection

[Verse 2]
Sunbeam, be my highway
Stream in on my sleep
Face me towards the new day
Until it breaks in me

[Chorus 2]
Love is where I'm aiming
Down way is just as steep
We'll sleep enraptured, waking up captured isn't liberty
So please lead me in the direction of my own resurrection

[Verse 3]
Last night I was dreaming
Spirits all could fly
When midnight woke up singing
Morning broke inside
[Chorus 3]
No, I don't want taming
No don't even try
To sleep enraptured, waking up captured isn't worth the try
I'll die pointing in the direction of my own resurrection

[Verse 1]
Lone star light the lowlands
Show up every stone
So far only you can
Lead us all back home

[Chorus 1]
If they could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam
To sleep enraptured, waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home's in the westward direction of my own resurrection

[Outro]
That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along

That's the spirit
It hears you way down low
That's the spirit
It'll pick you up and let you know
That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along

That's the spirit
It hears you way down low
That's the spirit
It'll pick you up and let you know

That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along

That's the spirit
It hears you way down low
That's the spirit
It'll pick you up and let you know

That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along
That's the spirit
