The Veils
Made from Love with Far to Go
I woke alone in some forgotten place
Nobody knew my name
Nobody knew my face
And on I walked into the setting sun
My hat upon my head
My hand upon my gun
Well I was made from love
But now I’m far below
And I’ve so far to go
Yeah I’ve so far to go
Yeah I was made from love
And that I’ve tried to show
But I’ve still so far to go
Yeah I’ve so far to go
Well I was spitting blood
Yeah I was missing teeth
And my shirt was cherry red
Where the blood pooled underneath
And in my wretched mouth
I had that acrid taste
And as the sun went down
I felt the blood rush from my face
Well I was made from love
But now I’m far below
And I’ve so far to go
Yeah I’ve so far to go
Yeah I was made from love
And in my heart I know
That I’ve still so far to go
Yeah I’ve still so far to go
A kingdom of birds
And a whole world gone to waste
A current of orphaned dreams
Runs through this forgotten place
So I signal up
And we head to another town
And I keep on walking ‘til
My dying day comes round
I was made from love
But now I’m far below
And I’ve still so far to go
Yeah I’ve so far to go
Yeah I was made from love
And that I’ve tried to show
But I’ve still so far to go
Yeah I’ve still so far to go
Oh my Lord
