Standing Still Lyrics
well away from the city they carried my life
I'd grown tired of the way that the day treats the night
and no matter how far I ran
no matter how far I ran
follow the railroad the only thing dry
the path goes narrow as Angela's eyes
no matter how far I ran
no matter how far I ran
oh, may my soul be found
brother
brother
here's where I belong
I was born by the water the wealth of the sea
and infants awaken with ominous dreams
and I traveled the world till the waltzing the streets
no matter how far I ran
oh, may my soul be found
on the tail of a hurricane, the trick of the trade
I stay angry at angels who stand in the way
wearin' a halo of smoke from a passing train
now the seat at my table's been taken away
I'm the same man now that I was when I changed
see, the birth of a star is the death of its fate
rise up like the water, and fall like the rain
a lung full of air from an oxygen tank
brother
brother
oh, make my soul be found
now mother
father,
oh, here's where I belong
lay me down
and let my love live forever
in this ground
I'd grown tired of the way that the day treats the night
and no matter how far I ran
no matter how far I ran
the path goes narrow as Angela's eyes
no matter how far I ran
no matter how far I ran
oh, may my soul be found
brother
here's where I belong
and infants awaken with ominous dreams
and I traveled the world till the waltzing the streets
no matter how far I ran
I stay angry at angels who stand in the way
wearin' a halo of smoke from a passing train
now the seat at my table's been taken away
see, the birth of a star is the death of its fate
rise up like the water, and fall like the rain
a lung full of air from an oxygen tank
brother
oh, make my soul be found
father,
oh, here's where I belong
and let my love live forever
in this ground
