The Great Unknown

A song is a dream that keeps going on when it's over A man hears a song in the soft spoken voice of his lover A hero goes on when the others believe it's all over A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother A crow with a broken wing stands at the side of the highway A traveller finds a place to sleep at the end of a long day I speak through a telephone You can't decipher what I say We'll meet in Decatur I'll tell you I love you in five days A human is something that rises and falls over time, dear Your breathing slows down and you sleep in the fluorescent light, dear We're passing through town and there isn't a soul we can trust here We don't use our real names. We struggle. We do what we must here Drive with me into the Great Unknown I think we are on our own I think we're really on our own A song is a dream that keeps going on when it's over A man hears a song in the soft spoken voice of his lover A hero goes on when the others believe it's all over A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother --- The Great Unknown - Ezra Furman
