I sit alone in discontent Your ears don't hear what I say After a while you disconnect To set you apart from pain I walked past you all your life But there is only one place Next to you where I decide In the presence of grace Hide your eyes from what is real And you don't know what I'll do The planets locked in all these drawers But only one holds the clue Watch for people coming through They don't know where I stand One foot is by your side And one in another land I been down so many roads As a child too far away I've been down so many roads I was travelling too far away, I say I returned from miles away To find that I didn't know you I would go where the river flows If I were able to But I walk by you once again There is only one place Next to you where I decide In the presence of your grace I've been down so many roads As a child too far away I've been down so many roads I was travelling too far away I been down so many roads I was travelling too far away Ba, ba, ba, ba, aah
One of the best Screaming Trees songs from their Velvetone/SST era IMO. Also an older sibling of sorts to the musically similar "Lay Your Head Down" and "Alice Said" from Uncle Anesthesia (both also great songs).
I return from miles away To find that I didn't know you I would go where the river flows if I were able to But I walk by you once again There is only one place Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace I've been down so many roads As a child too far away
Takes me back to high school in the early 90's every time I hear it...
thank you mark. rip you beautiful soul
When I get my Trees tribute band together we're gonna open with this. Not sure why... it just seems like a perfect opening song.
I sit alone in discontent
Your ears don't hear what I say
After a while you disconnect
To set you apart from pain
I walked past you all your life
But there is only one place
Next to you where I decide
In the presence of grace
Hide your eyes from what is real
And you don't know what I'll do
The planets locked in all these drawers
But only one holds the clue
Watch for people coming through
They don't know where I stand
One foot is by your side
And one in another land
I been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away, I say
I returned from miles away
To find that I didn't know you
I would go where the river flows
If I were able to
But I walk by you once again
There is only one place
Next to you where I decide
In the presence of your grace
I've been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away
I been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away
Ba, ba, ba, ba, aah

love this song
I return from miles away
To find that I didn't know you
I would go where the river flows if I were able to
But I walk by you once again
There is only one place
Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace
I've been down so many roads
As a child too far away
