My will goes cold, like a satellite
Marooned on a long forgotten world
Damn my eyes, I was mesmerized
As I watched the road to nowhere unfurl
I dreamed you upon me beneath that old moon
And a dirty tepid wind whistled an undertaker's tune
Out in the valley, past the burning trees
My soul like the ash of crickets, falling to their knees

Somewhere out in the dark, pass the walnut orchards
And the barroom abattoirs
Somewhere into the blue, I can almost see your smile
Fading from my view

I staggered like a crow into the empire
Where the floating seeds of star thistles twirl
I weaved the leaning poles and old telephone wires
Like dusty notes of music, at the far end of the world
I dream of radiation, a zeppelin balloon
A nuclear winter, a bonny spring monsoon
Beyond the splitting atoms
Past the ruined sea
My soul like the test site flowers
Burning in the breeze

Somewhere out in the dark, pass the walnut orchards
And the barroom abattoir
Somewhere into the blue, I can almost see your smile
Fading from my view
Somewhere out in the dark, pass the walnut orchards
And the barroom abattoir
Somewhere into the blue, I can almost see your smile
Fading from my view
Somewhere out in the dark, pass the walnut orchards
And the barroom abattoir
Somewhere into the blue, I can almost see your smile
Fading from my view

I call you... I call out to you
I call you... I call out to you
Only coyotes sang when I called out your name
Only cold wicked rain when I called out your name
When I called out your name!
