Wye Oak - Plains lyrics

rate me

Into the desert, weathered forever

Desperate clouds follow them out

Seeing the future, cautiously answer

Slowly the plains sideways rain

The days whispered and shouted and everything counted

The signs were around, we looked, so we found

Been seeking a pattern, none of it mattered

Watching the sky sparkling by

Through windows of the past

We are seeing the same thing but they are not laughing

Smoke from the engine, the bones of the plain

And I notice this vaguely but it couldn't contain me

And so I've been tamed and so it remains and I am ashamed

And I am in the strangest path

Try to remember, pen to the paper

Caution, get out, what's it about?

The pitchers are empty, voices have left me

It's only the plains sideways rain

And I am ashamed and I am ashamed

That every day is just this
