All Things Different - Idlewild

Water falling on the same stone lands

One drop after another

I’m in the audience watching the band

Dogs are barking at each other

Tied to the mast and stuck to the ground

Watching the clouds fall over each other

Up there the planets face the stars

Reflecting their night mists back and forth at each other

Up and beyond wear and tear

But content like a shipwreck

Sleeping in rust

Lying on the ocean floor

Under waves that are tearing away

Tearing away from the shore

And I’m dreaming

I’m dreaming lives are made up of lives that have went before

It’s dangerous to assume anything more

It’s been checked rechecked rewritten and advised

So these suggestions don’t need analysed

As the circle of knowledge it grows and grows

So I labour today in hope for tomorrow

Always running away

Running away on my own

Mixing up my longing to stay

With a longing to be gone

Somewhere different

Somewhere different

Than anywhere I’ve been before

All things different

So much different than before

And it’s dangerous to assume anything more

And it’s dangerous to assume anything more

And it’s dangerous to assume anything more
