Richard Murray: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

The sky is white and the rocks are grey
It’s the same thing everyday
Waitin on a glow to take my mind away
And to dance around my skin

For a while I’d been in trouble
And for a while I’ve been alone
I’d build a highway right through the stratosphere
If I thought it could take me home

So follow, follow me down
The streets I grew up on
See the dogs bark in the street
Hear the leaves beneath your feet
Experience in the purest form

Yeah but you can never feel the way I do
Now my childhood days are through
There’s no church I can turn to
I’m just a wandering Infidel
Wandering Infidel

Now there’s snow down at my feet
And there’s no one to save me
Left the crossroads with my soul intact
And a cold wind at my back

‘Cos when you live a life of no affiliation
To the fire or to the sky
You don’t wait for any salvation
You make it through heart and mind
Heart and mind
Heart and mind

Now you can’t forgive what I’ve done
And the time for redemption has come and gone
But there’ll be a place out in the sun
Where my senses will come undone

So pick up the pieces of my bed
The campfire will soon be dead
Pass the ashes around one more time
You can keep whatever’s mine

A new skyline lies just up ahead
There’s a vista out to the west
I may drink the wine and taste the bread
But you’ll remember a wandering infidel
