lyrics

THE ONLY WITNESS

an elliptical surge of light
obscured by pallid clouds
broke patterns of normal flight
beyond the barrier of sound
hovering at the slightest arc
in our exploited gravity
a hush entered Lakeshore Park
hypnotizing the evergreens

CHORUS
I was the only witness
out here tonight
I was the only witness
as you flew by
take me with you
my darling
I'm not quite like them
I swear I'm not like them

I've been expecting you
through the doldrums of each day
anxious for a signal
sent down by gamma ray
from a black hole event horizon
telepathic voices call
with my single suitcase packed
I'm ready for the long haul

CHORUS
I was the only witness
out here tonight
I was the only witness
as you flew by
take me with you
my darling
I'm not quite like them
I swear I'm not like them

Here we go…
