The Pilgrim Lyrics - Love At The End Of The World - Sam Roberts

I'm a pilgrim like you, I was only passin 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 lookin for proof that I ain't someone else 

I was too afraid to read the newspaper 

Workin 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, diggin a hole in the wall 

There's no escape, they said you need realignment 

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

I was too afraid to read the newspaper 

Workin 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 

My shoes have kicked up dust from here to somewhere else 

Is this wanderlust or runnin 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 waitin for someone to put me to use 

I hope it's clear as crystal, that the man with the pistol 

Is callin all the shots these days, now I'll be on my way, oh 

The self fulfillin prophets, they been linin their pockets 

And tellin 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
