"Reaching For John Dowland" lyrics - BIG BIG TRAIN

BIG BIG TRAIN
"Reaching For John Dowland"

Jonny imagined the wonderful sound
Submarine sunk on the Thames by a cloud
Indian brave in the planes of a mall
Hunting the ground for the shortest return
Away from here a miners' cage falls

Dancing like rain off the face of the road
Twisting and tearing wheel snakes in his hand
Later is burned, tomorrow is burned
Torching his alien blood in a forge

Away from here the gunners raise a storm

Here you waited for me
Waited long on the outside
Or the darkside or something

Here you waited for me
Waited long on the outside
Or the darkside

Here you waited for me

Jonny was making the wonderful sound
Searching the strings for a meaning
No-one was there, there was no-one at all
Alone in a huddle, smashing electrons
Away from here a city eats itself alive
