lyrics

I followed after your voice
while friends were telling me
I was making the wrong choice
well, I feel differently
I find you at the crossroads
I ask you for the way
You ask me if I’m ready
well, what is there to say?

I’ll open my fist and you can tell me what you see
the creases I’ve always been carrying
I'll give you my hand and you can say where each road leads
and know if I mean it, honey, you tell me

You better keep me guessing
Don’t stop making me sweat
Do I know my demons?
Don’t I know them yet
Am I burning in the moonlight
or standing in your shade?
Have I paid the full price?
Come close if you who can say

I’ll open my fist and you can tell me what you see
The old age in my hand, I carry
I’ll open my fist and you can tell me what will be
and know if I mean it, well honey, you tell me

I’ll open my fist and you can tell me what you see
The old age I’ve always been carrying

If I thought that I was too late
Or I had come too soon
It never tells me one time
When I ask the moon

She isn’t only present
as light is in the day
she shines with tomorrow
or sun from yesterday

I’ll open my fist and you can tell me what you see
The old age I’ve always been carrying

I’ll give, I’ll give you my fist
from the old age that it carries, tell me...
