The Evidence - Bill Hicks

Back in the black, when we couldn’t see

The wind come thru like a giant hand

And all these trees whirled twice around

And fell like matchsticks to the ground

Curled close together, you and I

Pulled the covers tight, and I wrapped

My arms around your waist

And buried your shoulder in my face

Our dreams roared on, like barreled steam

We flew down the slope like Casey Jones

Or, leaning together on a high-banked turn

Maybe like one of those bobsled teams

I can’t remember.

Was there a wreck?

Did I hit my head?

Who’s the president?

I’ve searched the house;

you’re definitely gone

Outside on the lawn there are fallen trees

(break)

And standing here, beside the bed

The sun blaring in like the radio-clock

The blankets are tangled, the sheets are torn

My hand brushes your pillow;

it isn’t warm

I’d follow your dream, like a vapor trail

I’d fly as fast as the wind in the sky

If I could just find one tiny clue

Of where you’ve gone to say goodbye

But all I can find is the evidence--

The sky is as still as a July pond

And as blue as infinity ever gets

If Muddy Waters were singing this song
