In the whisper trees, through hollow reeds Don't ever look at the hollow trees Don't believe what you read in the thunder sheets Don't ever lift your head from your hollow dreams You can never wake up, you can scream all you want You can leave if you please, just don't look at
It's such a long, long, long, long way To go through fields of hope Forget the whisper trees, you'll miss the hissing rope Soon I'll get to your home in the sterile zone Remember smoke, trees, reeds Leave out thosе ceaseless screeds, plеase But in a minute, I'll be gone In a minute, I'll be long gone So I can't look up, mm, no-no
Open up, I have come too far to run My, my, my, what have you done? For a time, I wouldn't mind You'd just salt the land
In an empty paddock, your stock-feed rots The echoes of the black dog haunt you You refuse to understand I'll never show my
If the door unlocks Will I become the stubborn one Who's only come to be a martyr? I don't wanna talk it over Not now, not ever Not now, not ever Not now, not ever Not now, not ever
