lyrics

I think there's no one home
Fences gates and padlocks
Guard this great unknown
What tales have I been told
By daydreamers and nighthawks
To start me on this road?

When darkness falls the sound that crawls
Through the ether
Before it slowly disappears
It leaves a trace on my receiver
And that's what brought me here

A note says -leave a note
But you won't find the mailbox
Just feed it to the crows
And watch them as they go
High over the beanstalks
Into our great unknown-

When darkness falls the voice that calls
Through the ether
And whispers sharply- can you hear?
It leaves the question ringing in my ear

When darkness falls the ghosts that waltz
Through the ether
Before they quickly disappear
They leave a trace on my receiver
And that's what keeps me here

I guess that no one's home
Fences crows and beanstalks
Another winding road
