From The Album "So Runs The World Away" (2010)
Intro
Verse 1
I Know Who You Are Old Man Keep Running
I Caught Your Trail As You Left The Pines
Out Into The Fields Where You Couldn’t Hide Nowhere
Just A Thin Stitch Up Against The Rising Line
And Up Through The Blue I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
Up Through The Blue I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
I Know Who You Are Old Man Keep Running
I Tracked You Down By The Look In The Eyes
Of A Thousand Gone Faces Pressed Against Their Windows
Horses Hiding In The Willows 'Til The Storm Passed By
And A Fine Gray Dust Seemed To Settle On The Future
Fine Gray Dust Seemed To Settle In Between
Your Hat And The Dapple Of My Appaloosa
The Only Living Things That I Could See
Up Through The Blue, I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
Up Through The Blue, I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
Verse 2
I Know Who You Are Old Man Keep Running
I Walked Across The Bottom Of The Lake Below
Your Boat And Did You Know That When You Landed I Was Watching?
As The Sky Turned Dark As The Eyes Of A Foal
And I’ll Know You By The Shift Of The Wind In The Cobwebs
The Sawdust Swirls In The Fins Of The Bullheads
The Craters That You Made When You Lay Down Dreaming
Strange Constellations That You Gave New Meaning
By The Teeth Marks Made On Bones Of The Ice Age
The Smell Of The Cinder Burning Slow In Your Ribcage
Listen In The Distance And You'll Hear My Shadow
Footsteps Soft As The Tread Of An Echo
Up Through The Blue I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
Up Through The Blue I Knew The Stars Were Tumbling
(Stars Were Tumbling)
Interlude
Verse 3
And The Ground Will Open Up Into A Mouth Below Us
The Mouth Will Open Up Into The Empty Sky
And The Whistle As We Hurtle Through The Halls Of Onyx
The Only Sound Around Us As We Go By
And I’ll Follow You Out Through The Wells Of Charcoal
Moonlit Stones Around The Cones Of A Black Hole
Fields Where Grow The Ever And Forever
Tessellated Blooms With The Voids At Their Centers
The Million Rooms, In A Bead Of Luminescence
The Filaments, On The Looms Of Dimension
The Pillars Of Creation Where They Make The Planets
The Billion Tiny Teeth That Tear The Charge From Your Atoms
In A Trillion Tiny Bites They’ll Eat The Meat From The Pearl
And Throw Your Soul Away A Cold Grey Little World
And Nothing That Is Hidden Will Be Revealed
Nothing That Is Hidden Will Be Revealed
Nothing That Is Hidden Will Be Revealed
Nothing That Is Hidden Will Be Revealed
