you saw me walking in the sun
to the place we all come from
with a loaded little gun from the gas store on the corner
past the old dead vultures bones
shoe soles on the wishing stone
is it death and death alone who lies beyond that border?
in the morning it's hot as hell
- in case you couldn't tell -
but all in all is just as well if we don't go down in the fire
the old man's got nothing to hide, with his arms out open wide
but if nothing's hurting in his side, he ain't nothing but a liar
je me suis dirigé ver la rue
la fois que j'ai vécu
sans abri dans ma voiture en me demandant
"quel diable est-ce que j'ai créé avec ma peur?"
j'suis epouvantail et je veux mon cœur
tu m'as dit, "quel petit bonheur deviendrait épouvantable?"
like a horse out of reins,
the more you see, the less you seem to say
are there worlds out there like you dream to be?
in the dark of night, they come to me
say, "there's a universe next door;
...what the hell are you waiting for?"
running cold through your veins
some alchemy...
to find the north star, oh to find your way
are there worlds out there like you dream to be?
in the dark of night, they come to me
say, "there's a universe next door;
oh, what the hell are you waiting for?"
i read my name on an evergreen sign
and where i come it's still raining like hell
virgina don't quite feel like mine
but i don't know how i'd even tell
someday, someday
maybe i'll be
in a town where all the people find
felicity in my arms
lost in the garden
he ran until he didn't know what way to go
and it hurts him to wake up
in a place where all his thoughts wait at the door
and nothing's after you,
and no one even calls
just wait right there and i'll come
carry you off
just wait right there and i'll come
carry you off
show me a photograph
of where you are
and i'll be there soon
when the picture goes all yellow
at the edges
i'll still be such a fool for you
for you...
oh, will you take me home?
because i can't see on my own
blades cut to the bone
but i'm more than flesh and blood, i'm made from mortar and stone
keep me locked inside your chest
in the attic
by the curtains you always wanted to throw away
don't lose me for anything
because i love you more and i need you more
than there are words to say
home, will you take me home
to a place,
where i won't be alone...
the sky is wide
it breaks upon my body
and i feel it in my soul
with the weight of things you never say to me...
hold me again like you love me
like before then
the world is so expansive
i cannot find my way since you left me
my legs are sore, my head it aches for you
i found a river...
in the fall
we left it in the fog...
because everybody knows
where the willow teardrops brush the ground...
no man can stand there tall
you wave to me
from the door
on dry and dusty floor...
and i sold my mother's watch
to a man, with two feet on the road
for the time i had no more...
if my heart's a shadow
in the sky
i'll let it catch the fire...
and i'll never love again
with a girl who's hands are sad as stone
cause now i don't want to die....
when you close your eyes
against the sun
and the final bells have rung
don't look back over your shoulder
for the moon will sing a song as sweet
as the place from where we've come...
