News From Nowhere lyrics

Tradition and roots weigh in heavy when the future is 
unsure 
unrest in the neighbourhood not seen since years before 
the breaking of the news is pouring fuel onto the fire 
i start speaking words that i know inside don't seem 
right 
i met him where the road breaks up to the track into 
the woods 
he hadn't had a talk for a while he wanted to feel 
understood 

what he had to say sent shivers 
shivers down my spine 

dont go until the ground frosts cleared 
the rivers higher than people have seen for years 
dry bark by the fireside 
avoid the eyes of strangers outside 

left him in the eye of the storm 
he said he needed no-one else at all 
he follows the law of the land 
its all there to remind me 

spent years on long term sick in a terraced house in 
town 
something inside of him broke and he made the move out 
took up a secluded barn with a 10 year stock of 
supplies 
he says when the church bells ring thats when he'll 
know they're near 

the way he looked at me sent shivers 
shivers to the bones 

keep inside until the first green shows 
he says the trees tell him all he needs to know 
cut off from the rest of the world 
nervous speech in riddles and codes 

left him in the eye of the storm 
he said he needed no-one else at all 
he follows the law of the land 
its all there to remind me 

well did you notice him the other day 
there was a tone in his voice which worried me 
we think he may be alone from us now 
he may be further in 
be smart, be still 
take the action now 
you're yelling about a time thats gone 
cause and effect 
take a step back step back step back 

dont go until the ground frosts cleared 
the rivers higher than people have seen for years 
dry bark by the fireside 
avoid the eyes of strangers outside 

left him in the eye of the storm 
he said he needed no-one else at all 
he follows the law of the land 
its all there to remind me 

well thank you 
somehow you helped me through 
the centres founder speaks 
says all these people are freaks 
and i sympathise but thats as far as it goes 
he says all he needs is a loving wife 
forgotten about the hours they spent 
under the water tower 
its not like that anymore...
