The wind seems to whisper me secrets
I can reckon' the call of the lamb
And I once thought I knew
How to decipher you
I have a map but I can't tell where I am
'Cause each time I open our book
The words won't fall into place
And you're lying there with that look
I wish I could read what's written
All over your face
One day my words just escaped me
Outlaws on a sun-stricken plain
I swear when I was young
The land of my tongue
Bore a bounty of bright golden grain
Cause each time I open our book
The words won't fall into place
And you're lying there with that look
I wish I could read what's written
All over your face
There's a train crying in the wind
And I'm trying to wire the next station
But the message is broken and frayed
And the meaning is lost in tarnation
You send me your signs and your symbols
You're a figure I can't seem to square
And in the worst of my dreams
You tire it seems of climbing
All my blank stares
Cause each time I open our book
The words won't fall into place
And you're lying there with that look
I wish I could read what's written
All over your face
Cause each time I open our book
The words won't fall into place
And you're lying there with that look
I wish I could read what's written
All over your face
