lyrics

The Great Nowhere

In the half-fantasised night-time
The harbour drunk on moonshine
There’s a sound of tragic wind chimes
Where the boats no longer cruise
My father’s voice comes to me
Between the stillness and the mystery
He says, “Don’t hit the brakes until you get free
And don’t get free until you’re tough enough to lose”
Don’t get free until you’re tough enough to lose

One day I’ll just up and leave, Ma
For a land as torn as we are
Eden rots on a shelf in a glass jar
Not far from where Virginia drowned
Maybe there’s no shelter real enough
Maybe the hurricane is one big bluff
But the sky inside sure seems rough
And I shiver as the rains come down
I shiver as the rain comes down

Rain just kept falling
And it fell right through me

So as the curtain drops on Sunday
I sprinkle sermons in the ash tray
Crave a fresh chest that I can smoke away
And I rise from the lonely room
Evening air calls up old romance
You swaying to me in slow dance
I picture young hips between these grey hands
And slip away with the solstice gloom
I slip away with the solstice gloom

For a time the road seemed naked
And the reckless alone could make it
Find your God there, you’d better forsake it
There’s a new faith sweeping town
“Chin up,” says the kid with the smoking gun
As he crosses his heart for the hidden sun
He’s taking aim at a world he wishes undone
But it’s all in another child’s hands now
It all lay in another child’s hands now

Rain just kept falling
And it fell right through me

I burned a match there on the church steps
Knowing I’ve worshipped nothing real yet
Well the ocean’s coming in to collect
Mother nature’s gonna get square
You’re the one regret I hold dear
Now that no one’s bones grind so near
I see the white horse rise to meet me here
And find I’m grateful for the great nowhere
I’m grateful for the great nowhere
