"Endless Detours" lyrics

I had a vision in the middle of the night
Lost in the thicket of an endless flight
That the only way out was to find a way through
Endless detours following you

Didn't have the words to put it all down
The wolves had taken all of my best ones
But the ink from the river was about to catch light
And start a new world with a new set of lines

Endless detours in the grey
Getting lost for a minute
Endless detours

Like wet paint that's about to touch down
Braiding it together and sweeping it around
The sun rolling up like an opening eye
A cadmium yellow yolk in the sky

Endless detours in the grey
Getting lost for a minute
Endless detours on the way
Make a turn and blaze

Away, away, away, away

It's made of guts and it cuts through clay
A tangled wire that can't run straight
A spirit moving before our eyes
Running like an animal, free and wild

Endless detours in the grey
Getting lost for a minute
Endless detours on the way
Make a turn and blaze

Away, away, away, away
