Kevin Devine - Off-Screen lyrics

I saw you I saw you Did you see me? I was off screen Off screen From there I From there I Saw the flood rise In my daydream Daydream With my dead eye With my dead eye Watched for vultures By the road side Road side The sun spoke (It said my name) The sun spoke (It said my name) I answered "Good morning. Are you alright? Are you alright? Cuz I can't see you now So I've stopped looking out." The dread collects in clouds Drifting onscreen Towards us onscreen And I can't see you now So I stopped looking out Imagine my surprise When you became my eyes And overwhelmed the sky Now the ground's hot And the earth's dry Here's your answer Here's your big bright Here's your leased life Here's your white knight Here's your alright Here's your alright
