Disappear From Here

There's a candlelight vigil for the new fallen hero

But I've got to move along or I'm counting to zero

Don't get me wrong, it's not that it numbs me

I give praise to the sunrise

And thanks every evening

I knew when the radio said so long

Cause there was static in the air

And the music was gone

But I can't believe it's disappeared

It can't vanish just cause he's not here

The clouds they all dash and they scatter as I'm writing

They crawl for their supper and they live for the lightning

But who knows when it's born or where it shall extinguish

Because it might be the barn, but it could be ambitious

I know I've said it once before

We're all targets, well that was just a metaphor

You have to be careful what you believe

When some terrified person tries to pin his fears on your sleeve

Josephine's out walking, she's got a seed in her belly

Her husband's a hoodlum, but she knows that I am steady

And when we go rambling it's always all or nothing

Cause if the lawn freezes over then the house becomes a prison

And the rain it can't reach us, her hands are too precious

And the sun lost his fingers, got them caught in an eclipse

If the highway folds up we'll drive through the canyon

With our blueprints on horseback and those echos in the wagon

When the farmers were deserted and the earth cracked up

The ocean responded with just a teacup

It rained for a second and then it was over

They looked down at their hands and suddenly they were older

I know when the harvest has come and gone

Cause there's no cotton in the air and even the weeds become brown

But I can't wait for them to turn

I've got to slash and I've got to burn

I've got to slash and burn

There's a man without hope kicking the ground

He's waiting for something to come and cut him down

He says the earth is too dry but his vision is so weak

He can't see the gold strained underneath his feet

I know when it's time to say so long

There'll be static in the air and the music will be gone

But I've got enough sense between my ears

To know what remains when I disappear from here

When I disappear from here

Disappear from here

Disappear

Disappear

Disappear
