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

Never once an ocean

Could hold me on its shore

Standing calm with all its motion

With all the movement of its 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 headin' down a back road

The one that no one really takes

'cept for me now to be nowhere

When that early morning breaks

Now I’m dancin' with the mad girls

The ones who sin out by the town

Who were brought up by bell towers

And always nurtured by its 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’d you put in me?

'Cause now I’m tied by up by a back road, y’know

The one that no one really takes

'cept 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

To track down sons of serpent roads

And let me look out over slaughter

To have a night out with the boys

And now I’m takin' off the back road, y’know

The one that no one really takes

'cept for me now to be nowhere

When that early morning breaks
