Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

Get Behind Me

It's the signs as we see them

There's no thresholds at all

There's no vows to be broken

As we rise, or we fall

There's no noise high above us

As the moon turns in space

Just the face of a lady

Who we loved for her grace

Get behind me, Get behind me

Won't you bend my ear again

I really need a friend

Get behind me, Get behind me

Remind me to remind me

Not to go back there again

When the threads of dark moments

Start to tremble with sound

And an almost formed whisper dies

The boundaries surround

We keep reaching beyond us

Through the shape shifting clouds

Why ain't I like you brother,

So electric, so proud

Get behind me, Get behind me

Won't you bend my ear again

I really need a friend

Get behind me, Get behind me

Remind me to remind me

Not to go back there again

Set us free of this feeling

So we'll be once again

So we won't feel the gravity of time

And the face in the faces

Of the loves we move through

Reappears in original design

Get behind me, Get behind me

Won't you bend my ear again

I really need a friend

Get behind me, Get behind me

Remind me to remind me

Not to go back there again
