BACKWOODS

I'm here with a book of numbers
every word is wild
no sound as dark clouds comin' down
but as I hang by the gallows
who do I see? it's you
 
today is an ordinary day for all
the big answers we thought we'd get out of love
but as I'm dreamin' of thunder
who do I feel? it's you
 
I just wanna go home
there is nowhere to belong
sing me your song
I know you have one
can you see what I see?
through the headstones and the trees
something calls
something's screamin' through the walls!
 
here comes the flood babe, I have a plan
there is a house in the backwoods
all mellow and sad
ain't no angel there to meet me
no marks in the sand
but yours
 
well, tomorrow is dim and our limbs are sore
but we've never been closer to the light before
I said: "all is dream, babe"
but what we've seen
it's true
 
I just wanna go home
there is nowhere to belong
sing me your song
I know you have one
can you see what I see?
through the headstones and the trees
something calls
something's screamin' through the walls!
