Sam Roberts - The Pilgrim lyrics

rate me

I'm a pilgrim like you

I was only passing through

You'll never know my name

You'll never walk in my shoes

I've been no use to my friends

I've been no use to myself

Now I'm looking for proof that I ain't someone else

I was too afraid to read the newspaper

Working in the basement of a skyscraper

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name

Oh no

I'm not here to feel the bones of some forgotten saint

I know who I am, and I know who you ain't

Spent fifteen days in solitary confinement

Digging a hole in the wall

There's no escape, they said you need realignment

Now you're praying for help but they don't hear you call

I was too afraid to read the newspaper

Working in the basement of a skyscraper

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name

Oh no

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

There's only one thing on my mind

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine

[ Sam Roberts Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

My shoes have kicked up dust from here to somewhere else

Is this wanderlust

Or running from myself?

My neck was in the noose, but now I've been cut loose

And put out to graze in delicate pastures

Now I'm waiting for someone to put me to use

I hope it's clear as crystal

That the man with the pistol

Is calling all the shots these days

Now I'll be on my way, oh

The self-fulfilling prophets

They been lining their pockets

And telling me that it's alright

But I just don't buy it

Oh no

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

There's only one thing on my mind

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

There's only one thing on my mind

I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine<br />
