From Silver Lake

Did you see our brother

He was here the other day

But he only came to say

That he was leavingDid you see his lady

She was looking where he'd gone

But she wasn't letting on

That she was grievingShe's bound to go

Perhaps she'll find him waiting

For his boat in some city far away

She's bound to goLately I remember

Afternoons of smoke and wine

There was nothing we could find

But peace and pleasureAnd with a smile he told me

That he wanted just to be

On his way across the sea

No man can measureHe won't be back

And the sun may find him sleeping

In the dust of some ruin far away

He won't be backEarly today as I watched

While the skyline was shaking

I heard a rumblingEarly today the mechanical city was waking

And I ran out stumbling, mumbling

Out through the laughter of children and dogsDid you see our brother

He was here the other day

But he only came to say

That he can't breathe hereDid you see his lady

She was reaching for his hand

Just as if to tell her man

That she can't eitherThey're bound to go

And the sun may find me running after them

Seeing something far away

We won't be back
