lyrics

QUICKER COMES DARKNESS, WILD IS THE GARDEN
THE FLING NEAR FORGOTTEN, FEELS LIKE AUGUST AGAIN
ANOTHER SCHOOL WHERE NOTHING STICKS BUT STORIES OF VESUVIUS
THE DOGS AND THE CHILDREN, THEY KNOW SHE’S STIRRING AGAIN
BUT THE VILLAGE SLEEPS WITH NERVOUS DREAMS
THE ASH THAT FILLED THE LUNGS OF POMPEII
MADE THE GROUND RICH TODAY

ONE TIME I KNEW
THAT FOLLOWING YOU WOULD MEAN BEING TURNED AROUND
INTO THE CLOUD, INTO THE CLOUD

YOUNG ONLY ONCE, ONLY EVER YOUNG
THESE ARE MY PEOPLE, WHAT WILL COME, WILL COME
AND THOUGH I’VE DREAMED OUTSIDE THE RED ZONE,
HOW DO YOU LEAVE ALL YOU’VE EVER KNOWN?

ONE TIME I KNEW
THAT FOLLOWING YOU WOULD MEAN BEING TURNED AROUND
INTO THE CLOUD, INTO THE CLOUD

WHAT SWEETER BACKDROP TO A ROMANCE THAN DOOM,
WHEN BOREDOM IS THE TRUE ENEMY?*
AND FOR ETERNITY A PLASTER RELIEF OF TWO LOVERS EMBRACING

ONE TIME I KNEW
THAT FOLLOWING YOU WOULD MEAN BEING TURNED AROUND
INTO THE CLOUD, INTO THE CLOUD

ONE TIME I KNEW
BUT THEY BUILD ON THE SIDE OF VESUVIUS STILL
THEY ALWAYS WILL. WE ALWAYS WILL.

*'boredom is the true enemy'- Geoff Berner
