{If I was} a {sinnerman}, {lay my body down} in my {trail of tears), for I would fear to {live forever}, in my {wastelands}, these {fields of fire}. {Dear god},{breathe} the {call of the wild} into me, and set this {fallen angel} {free}, {take me home} to my {sister and brother}, my {homeland}, I want to see {that certain smile}, {the gift}, so {I see hope} in the morning light. {May your good lord}, {the maker}, turn my {hell into heaven} bring warmth to my {cold, cold heart}, for {when the wind blows}, I shall lay down my {guns and arrows}, before we {all fall down}. Place your {hands around my heart}, show me the {light in your eyes}, the {textures} of {pure love}, stop this sinnerman from {tumbling down}.All song titles from Midge Ure.
