Walking home all burned and broken With the front door, my heart opens Once inside, words are spoken Asking how to mend the broken Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive Tell us how they brought you down And why d’you let them hang around? Tell us when you left the earth And promise next time you’ll call first Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive And how I felt the shackles round me When I left this world behind me I thought that heaven there would find me But heaven’s in the town that born me Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive I feel the need to ask forgiveness I didn’t act on things I witnessed Helpless as I watched them drown Now I’ve turned the boat around Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive Oh, you restless fugitive

Really cool song and great new album. My friend pointed out the similarities between this and the Crocodile Dundee Theme (end credits) today and now I can't get it out of my head.

Willy, thank you. I hope you recognize the amazing body of work you have and feel fulfilled by it. I dream of one day having half the career you have. Major respect for not being afraid with the directions of the more recent albums. I hope you see that vision through whatever it was. Thank you for your work; I’ve been a fan since apple had “Talk Me Down”’as the free song of the week. PS: I hope you reach out to Lianne again, you guys have musical chemistry
