Wild Ways Songtext
von Josh Ritter

Never been so lost
Didn′t have a home
Though it tried my heart I could not pay the cost
For a life on its own
I hadn't hit bottom
Baby I was still falling
Til I saw the sun on your face
I heard my higher calling

Considered the lillies
The spiritual torments
I looked into crystal balls
Up into the infinite orbits
Barefoot over coals
Deserts by crawling
But all that it took was one look
I heard my higher calling


I give all my hours
I give all my days
I give everything I have
To your wild ways
I give all my nights
I give all my days
I give everything I have
To your wild ways

I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling

A poet once told me
I was a drop in the ocean
But also the ocean was me
There was no separation
You′re part of me baby
C'mon honey climb in
Look into my eyes see your mirror
And my higher calling


I give all my hours
I give all my days
I give everything I have
To your wild ways
I give all my nights
I give all my days
I give everything I have
To your wild ways

I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
I hear a higher calling
