Tangle in This Trampled Wheat Songtext
von The Tallest Man on Earth

Been so many days of longing now
Why should it ever be this far
Where I get frightened
I could never gather birds enough to carry ′round your part
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
I see a sight, I hear a sound

I only comfort in the brittleness of
Days when I can hold what I just found
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin′ alone
I'm not leavin' alone


If just that weather-beatin′ plane was here
Haven′t seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same

And sometimes I′m just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost

In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin′ alone
I'm not leavin′ alone
I'm not leavin' alone
