High Plains Drifter Finds The Oracle At Delphi

The rain outside my window

Was a sound I'd never heard before

I kissed your hand in the graveyard

I laid you down in the grass below, and said,

"Follow down the steps to come see where I'm going

No one knows but us"

The sun inside your iris

Was a sight I'd never seen before

A well was brought from the ocean

But no one could find a place to dig

I'll show you down the steps to come see women talk

through

Clouds of ethylene

Follow down the steps to come see where I'm going

No one knows but us

No one knows but us

The chants outside my window

Were from kids I'd never seen before

They washed their feet in the water

I watch them from my window

See my bed turn into burning branches

See my hazel eyes turn grey

No one knows but us

I've been finding things I've left before

I've been learning things I've learned before

I've been loving things I've loved before

I told my life to the priestess

She finished it from the other end

We dropped our tears on the tombstones

They shone like tiny passages

She said, "Follow down the steps to come see

Women talk through clouds of ethylene"

Follow down the steps to come see where I'm going

No one knows but us
