40 Days in Kansas Songtext
von Ezra Furman

40 days in Kansas
40 nights in pain
This world took my fame
That world took my name
Here go I with nothing
Here go I the same
White swan on the river
Black swan in the rain
I could hear the thunder rolling far away


Moses hid the water
Jesus hid the sky
We just hid in between and kissed it all goodbye
Catch me when I′m falling
Catch me in the rise
Wash me in the river
Hold me in your mind
I could hear the thunder rolling far behind

Thunder, roll (oh)
For the evening with its blue-black tone
Thunder, roll (oh)
For the morning with its great unknown
Thunder, roll its bones

White wing on the water
Black wing on the sand
Red wing in the sunset
I can hardly stand
Sleeping in the doorway
With a bottle in your hand
I could hear the thunder rolling across the land


Thunder, roll (oh)
For the young blushing groom and bride
Thunder, roll (oh)
For the old with their tired eyes
Thunder, roll goodbye
