lyrics

no matter where I go
no matter what I do
I'll never get away from you
I'll never get away from you

no matter what I think
no matter where I hide
I'll always have your face inside
I'll always have your face inside

when the heather was purple and I was alone
I walked the hills and streets with nowhere else to go
and so I slept through the seasons and now the heather is brown
I think about it as I wander in to town

but you're still around

on the wings of the morning
in the tossed waves of the sea
even there your hand holds me
even there your hand holds me

there's no bread in my cupboard
and there's no life out on the street
so where else can I go?

when the heather was purple and I was alone
I walked the hills and streets with nowhere else to go
and so I slept through the seasons and now the heather is brown
I think about it as I wander in to town

but you're still around

no matter where I go
no matter what I do
I'll never get away from you
I'll never get away from you

(John 6:66-71; Psalm 139)
