Wye Oak - Plains

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
