First Sign

Lyrics

The summer came and ended in cascades The dusty gold fell into shadow's shade Watching the swallows sliding on slipstreams The church bell across the valley marks out the day solemnly At the first sign of trouble I took myself away To a place made for forgetting I hope I lose you on the way That night, my sleep was deep dark deep blue Felt lust dismantling as all lusts do I thought of ways to speak the truth undressed To pull you from your other life out west This journey I will make to start anew Help me, oh let me shake these thoughts of you At the first sign of trouble I took myself away To a place made for forgetting I hope I lose you on the way
