Further Up, Further in Lyrics

I dreamed the wind came to my house
These are the words fell from his mouth:
"The king you seek, you'll find him true
But only if he rides the road with you"

Further up, further in
Further up, further in

I stepped aboard a ship that flew
It took me wherever it wanted to
Far above land, far above sea
The dreamer and the doer agreed to agree

I was sent to the war, stripped of my power
Gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower
I must have cried for an age or more
'Till I saw through tears and I found the door

High on a cliff in gorgeous clothes
A madman danced on the balls of his toes
Forgetting myself I fell at the feet
Of the greatest fool I ever did meet

The stars were bright and magic afoot
On the summer wind rose the sound of a flute
I saw the musician, my heart knew him well
What happened next no rhyme can tell

We came to the end of the world one day
A dolphin swam in a sheltered bay
I paid to the king what it was I owed
Put my face to the wind and my foot on the road

I find I've wandered far from home
But home is in me wherever I roam
I thought I was an hour or a year behind
But the hours and the years are only time
