Screaming Trees Album

Tries to preach us in the dark
By the river I hear you talking
Strike a match to the Western sky
Blowing fire in the sweet, sweet summertime
[Alright]

Eyes betray what your words don't speak
Burn my gaze with sadness
[Turn your head away]
I'd rather be almost anywhere else
A step away from madness

No man's promised land tell me what you may
Tell me what you mean
Saw the moonlight waiting somewhere further down the way
Wrong turn to Jahannon, I wonder if you'd stay
No man...

Just a preacher in the dark
By the river I hear you talking
Strike a match to the Western skies
Blowing fire in the sweetest summertime

No man's promised land tell me what you may
Tell me what you mean
Saw the moonlight waiting somewhere further down the way
Wrong turn to Jahannon, I wonder if you'd stay

No man, No man, I wonder if you'll stay
Yeah, wonder if you'll stay
Yeah, wonder if you'll speak
Yeah, wonder if, wonder if, wonder if
Wonder if you'll stay at home
Wonder if, wonder if...

Passing the hours outside yourself
With bitter dream now dont go down
Summers reflection it falls inside
Well into darkness

I have found you far too late
Silently it steps away
I wouldn't call you back to wait for me

Watching the storm that's drawing near
What's barely seen is always here
It leaves a question on your breath
It has no answer

I have found you far too late
Silently it steps away
I wouldn't call you back to wait for me

Passing the hours outside yourself
Bitter dream now dont go down
Dunno where or why i've got
Who lies in darkness

I have found you far too late
Silently it steps away
I wouldn't call you back to wait for me

On a day so long ago now, no one can remember
There's a chance this too will pass vanish in the haze
This is moving too far under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the end of the night
Transparent dreams fade in my head and in my eye
I'm looking back for one last time

Make a dash towards the door in sudden disarray
As the daylight turned to rust
The more you want to stay
Trapped within the silence
And do you think it's alright
Close your eyes and try to fly
Back to the end of the night

Transparent dreams made in my head and in my eye
I'm looking back for one last time

Now day has broken, scattered in the wind
Lies still unspoken, nothing left to say
Sliding by a picture and then fold it in your hand
Ride it out in hopelessness, now you'll understand
This is moving too far under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the end of the night

Transparent dreams made in my head and in my eye
I'm looking back for one last time ...time
Back to the end of the night ...night

Gone so long and feeling so let down
Seems as though I'm living underground
There's something about today I can't explain

Walked on burning bridges, so I said
I think I'll take another way instead
There's something about today I can't explain

Walk from sea to oily sea
Waves have washed away disease
All the miles couldn't make it change
I might know tomorrow but not today

Chased by shaded nightmares till I'm dead
Following most everywhere I tread
There's something about today I can't explain
There's something about today
