A high and lonesome sound Comes in to lay you down You crawl below within The pines are whispering Behold the wilderness Where men get lost and press Their luck in hopelessness Come on, get up, get dressed High atop some ferris wheel Sat to watch the autumn peel Yet again a gloaming sky If there's shadow, there is light Smokestacks along the coast Drop dark like frozen ropes People got something in their throats You don't say, you'll never know Blue silver is the sea There is salt inside of me I have felt the world begin Over and over again
Over and over again Rubbed a dime with my thumb Pined and pried and wished you'd come The dime slipped and then I lunged Thought to laugh but it wasn't fun Fell floating overground Swans dive through broken clouds Did the quiet get so loud? I see you there, I see you now Put slow my hand in yours Thought quick, not any more Nature always wins the war Now what are wars for? Blue silver is the sea We alone made Adam and Eve I have felt the world begin Over and over again Over and over again Over and over again Over and over again
