The Tallest Man On Earth - Where I Thought I Met the Angels lyrics

Never once an ocean
Could hold me on it's shore
Standing calm with all it's motion
With all the movement of it's flow
Cause, I know way back in the distance
All the safer sorrows burned
The ones with no intent to drown you
The ones where nothin's to be learned

So now I'm heading down a back road
The one that no one really takes
Except for me now to be nowhere
When that early morning breaks
Now I'm dancing with the mad girls
The ones who sin out by the town

Who were brought up by bell towers
And always nurtured by it's sound
I heard them sing out in their language
Already when I was still free
Oh God I thought I heard the angels
What kind of fool would you put in me?

'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road
Y'know the one that no one really takes
Except for me now to be nowhere
When that early morning breaks

They sure won't let me leave this summer
No no no and they won't let me go this fall
And with the likelihood of winter
They'll take the heat out of us all
Just to deliver all their daughters
And let me look out over slaughter
To have a night out with the boys

And now I'm taking off the back road, y'know
The one that no one really takes
Except for me now to be nowhere
When that early morning breaks
