News From Nowhere
Tradition and roots weigh in heavy, when the future is unsure Unrest in the neighbourhood not seen since years before The breaking of the news is pouring fuel onto the fire I start speaking words, that I know inside don't seem right I met him where the road breaks up to the track into the woods He hadn't had a talk for a while, he wanted to feel understood And what he had to say sent shivers Shivers down my spine Don't go until the ground frosts cleared The river's higher than people have seen for years Dry bark by the fireside Avoid the eyes of strangers outside Left him in the eye of the storm He said he needed no-one else at all He follows the law of the land It's all there to remind me Spent years on long term sick in a terraced house in town Something inside of him broke, and he made the move out Took up a secluded barn with a ten year stock of supplies He says when the church bells ring That's when he'll know they're near The way he looked at me sent shivers Shivers to the bones Songtexte Keep inside until the first green shows He says the trees tell him all he needs to know Cut off from the rest of the world Nervous speech in riddles and codes Left him in the eye of the storm He said he needed no-one else at all He follows the law of the land It's all there to remind me It's all there to remind me Well did you notice him the other day The tone in his voice has worried me We think he may be alone from us now He may be further in Be smart, be still, take the action now You're yelling about a time that's gone Cause and effect take a step back Step back, step back Don't go until the ground frosts clears The river's higher than people have seen for years Dry bark by the fireside Avoid the eyes of strangers outside Left him in the eye of the storm He said he needed no-one else at all He follows the law of the land It's all there to remind me Well thank you Somehow you helped me through The centre's founder speaks Says all these people are freaks And I sympathise, but that's as far as it goes He says all he needs is a loving wife Forgotten about the hours they spent Under the water tower It's not like that anymore... Don't go until the ground frosts clears The river's higher than people have seen for years Dry bark by the fireside Avoid the eyes of strangers outside Left him in the eye of the storm He said he needed no-one else at all He follows the law of the land It's all there to remind me Aus Songtexte Mania
