These United States - Water & Wheat lyrics

Clouds sweep down from the heavens to the wheat, the town Sleeps in the thick heat of the eve Clouds go wherever I breathe Water washes over armies beckoning red rover Fast erasing all the castles claimed in chalk Water goes wherever I walk Clouds go wherever I breathe – water wherever I walk There's patterns of heavens and earth There's wind and there's water and wheat and the rest is just talk Winds whip strong, stoop to carry me along, into a Night I might not otherwise have known Winds'll warm you right down to the bone And out across the North Sea, you can hang your soul like laundry You can write your love on beach trees in the breeze The world can drop you dumb down on your knees Wind warms me down to my bones – world drops me dead as I walk This wind and this water and wheat These dreams under wide skies cut free – all the rest is just talk All the rest is just jaws Their effect and their cause A futility of claws Carving blood into laws Claiming castles in chalk I'll continue to walk I'll continue to walk I won't look back or balk I'll continue to walk I'll continue to walk
