I thought I should talk, man
I guess I need to listen
When she got caught in this world
I bet she didn't even think
The wool that hides the wolf
Inside sheep's clothing
Could be so soft
And now she's on the brink

Over the autumn fields
Across the water
Under the starry cloak of night

Blue light, baby won't you light me a lantern?
It's been too many hours
Since I last saw your pretty face
If a night is dark
What if I don't see it when the man turns
His human bark
Into another place?

Sometimes, drinking, I
Feel so happy but then
I can't remember why;
I feel sad all over again
Sometimes, drinking, I
Don't know my best friend for my best friend

Broken on the drum and ancient ancient arrow
His people cold, swept onto the tender plain
And slow by slow by slow
By slower than slow
Unto the open houses
Brought by the children, Joseph came

Play songs by the fire a while
Here are stories my child
Don't you feel like a train chugging
Train chugging
In thy head

Oh and now I know who I really really am
I, I'm going to stay on track
Still I can't lose myself, I'm haunted
By the sound
Click clack, click clack

Yes and now I know who I really really am
I, I'm going to stay on track
Still I can't really lose myself, I'm haunted
By the sound
Click clack, click clack

I thought I should talk, but man
I guess I need to listen
When she got caught in this world
I bet she didn't even think
The wool that hides
The wolf inside sheep's clothing
Could be so soft
Now she's on the brink
