Oh the scant places us broken souls can hide
When scars as evident as ours commingle and collide
When love becomes a toothless word
When leaps of faith leave bridges burned
When old hiding places deep inside
Now offer no safe place to hide...
It's tumbleweed time... tumbleweed time...
When what I need's what I need to leave behind
I hear your footsteps in the shadows of my mind
And I go flying blind into a dust storm
Of tumbleweeds
Oh scarecrows of redemption
Why do you no longer stand guard...
High up on the ramparts in this fortress round my heart?
Your alchemy and miracles are now tinder to these flames
Incinerated angels flee, as all hope of rescue fades...
It's tumbleweed time, tumbleweed time
When what I need's what I need to leave behind
I hear your whispers down the hallways of my mind...
And go flying blind into that dust storm
Of tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
Of tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
Of tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
Of tumbleweeds...
So blow, you dusty winds
Set me aglow with sorrows gold
Behold, such reckonings
Beyond the clutch of melancholy hands
Painted saints of loneliness
Adrift out in the shadow lands
Tumbling in sweet nothingness...
Where all there is endless space
No busted husks of broken dreams
Remnants of what might have been
What could have been, what should have been
Between you and me, but now it's time for me to flee
To become like these tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
Like my friends the tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
I'll become like these tumbleweeds...
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
Let me become like these tumbleweeds
I'll just become like these tumbleweeds
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
I'll just become like these tumbleweeds
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
I'll just become like these tumbleweeds
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
(Long ooohs over next line)
I guess God was absent on that day
When down upon my knees I prayed
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
For deliverance, but, that's okay
(Flying blind into that dust storm)
I never loved you anyway...
