Atlas & Beyond

Beyond doubts

odd or even
they’ve got his number,
they know he’s out of count
good or bad
they’ve seen his appearance
they’re sure
he’s homeward bound

I’ll be back
I’ve been away far too long
I long for home
I know that I’ll be back

day or night
they’ve seen him this moment
they know he’s out of time
right or wrong
they’re not quite sure whether
his deeds were mercy or crime

I’ll be back
I’ve been away far too long
I long for home
I know that I’ll be back

heaven or hell
they’ve heard his prayers
to be or not to be
now at last
he’s on his way back
he is or isn’t he

I don’t know
I’ve been a tramp al my life
I’ve lived too long
between yes and no.
