Wastelands

Watch you drift away around the room in that dress
The jewels on your bracelet have seen their best
I watch the sweat form against your clothes
I've seen the look on their faces i think they know,
That the clock is ticking away and the wind is calling us
And the pleasantries will chain us no more

When it all is much too much we'll run to the wastelands
Where the snow is all there is and words sound different
When it all is much too much meet me in the wastelands
Where the fear will fade away
Where the children in us play

I walk the smoky room and stumble into you
The chattering of their voices says nothing new
But the clock is ticking away and the wind is calling us
And the way you make your exit there are no words

When it all is much too much we'll run to the wastelands
Park the car beside the road and take each other
When it feels like much too much meet me in the wastelands
Where the horror slowly fades where the children in us play

When the world is much too much we'll run to the wastelands
Leave footprints in the snow till our ties are severed
When it all is much too much meet me in the wastelands
Make a chain of flowers like our ties are severed
When the world is much too much meet me in the wastelands
Park the car beside the road and take each other
When the world is much too much meet me there in the wastelands
And the wind is on our face and our veins are opened
When the world is much too much meet me there in the wastelands
Make a chain of flowers and the children in us play
