lyrics

Here I sit under the great oak tree
The western sky rumbles in the heat
Bleeding light soaks the clouds red
Black with crows the night comes too soon
I got so high I jumped over the moon
I got so low I buried myself alive

A dusty road crawls back through the heat
I shade my eyes from the raging sun
The river bed runs dry like an ancient scar
The desert moon is reflected in your eyes
I got so high I kissed the stars goodnight
I got so low I fell into myself
I wrote a letter and left it all to you
Leave it all behind

A photograph fades in the light
We see the past only in black and white
Rays of sun shine through the dust
A lonely winter waits for all of us
I got so high I jumped over the moon
I got so low I buried myself alive
I pulled a lever and fell into the noose
Leave it all behind

I pulled a lever, I pulled a lever and fell into the noose
I wrote a letter, I wrote a letter and left it all to you

Leave it all behind
