Newcomer

I am the newcomer

Searching for arms to hold

I am the newcomer searching the dusty rows

Riding the highs and lows

Like a lover in the throes

Searching for the highs and lows

I am searching

I am the newcomer searching this red-earth road

I am the newcomer crossing this freeway road

Searching for belonging and home

Like I’m panning for gold

Turning every precious stone

Searching for the highs and lows

Searching for my lost familiar

I am searching

I am the newcomer

Searching this old bazaar

I am searching for

Like I’m coming home

Seeking out higher notes

Becoming like a ghost

Inside my strongest bones

Searching the highs and lows

Searching for my lost familiar

I am searching
