THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH
“Like The Wheel”
“Like The Wheel”
____________________
I wish I was the sparrow in you kid’s eye
That could fly above this summer all day long
On an island in the heart he has to carry
Past the many you have let into your song
And I said “oh my lord, why am I not strong?”
Like the wheel that keeps travelers travelling on
Like the wheel that will take me home
In the forest someone whispering to a tree now
This is all I am so please don’t follow me
And its your brother in the shaft that I’m a-swinging
Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
And he said “oh my lord, why am I not strong?”
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
Like the wheel that will take you home
And on this Sunday someone’s sitting down to wonder
“Where the hell among these mountains will I be?”
There’s a cloud behind the cloud to which I’m yelling
Oh, I could hear you sneak around so easily
And I said “oh my lord, why am I not strong?”
Like the branch that keeps hangmen hanging on
Like the branch that will take me home

The Tallest Man On Earth - "It Will Follow The Rain"
Have you ever
seen the far side
Of a mountain
swallow the sky
As you travel
through the valley
And as your
speedin still far behind
Through the
valley where lovers climb
Have you ever
seen the locust
Lean his wings
right after a plague
Like ascendin
of a dark cloud
In the sunlight
to end the day
To kill the
sunlight, to end the day
Yes it will
follow the rain
Have you ever
seen the quiet
Indecision of a
man
When he's
standing by the fire
With an eager
friend in his hand
Will he ever
quite understand
That it will
follow the rain
I said oh my
friend
It will follow
the rain
Have you ever
seen your baby
Getting caught
by the lonesome wind
And the
whistling round the corners
Telling you
they have let her in
Separation can
now begin
Yes, it will
follow now the rain.
I said oh my
friend.
It will follow
the rain
I said oh my
friend
It will follow
the rain
Have you ever
seen the far side
Of a mountain
swallow the sky,
As you travel
through the valley
As you're
speeding still far behind
Through the
valley where lovers climb
Where the
children will blink and sigh
They have
caught a lightning strike
In the jar just
to watch it die
In the valley
where lovers climb
Yes it will
follow the rain
I said oh my
friend
It will follow
the rain

THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH
“Troubles Will Be Gone”
Oh, when it’s god I see in headlights kneeling down on frozen highways
And salvation in white knuckles on a wheel
And the deer is in the audience by the border of the darkness
Where forgiveness grows and slowly winds away
Well there’s a question somewhere asked with all the answers inside
But I’ll never find the kid before she’s gone
Well the day is never done, but there’s a light on where you’re sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone
But now the ghost is in my jacket and my stairs were built in anger
Winding forcefully but end up where I stand
But there are no rocks or salt and nails, I low my cannons not to kill you
Simply lost the words to tell you I’m afraid
And there’s a sign up to a hill to see the far of the land
Well the sign will tell you, “Turn if there’s a one”
Still the day is never done, but there’s a light on where you’re sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone
Oh darling, when it’s you I see in headlights, driving down the golden highway
And salvation in the beauty of some brace
And the deer is gone without me to the valley of surrender
There is still another world along it’s tracks
But there’s that sign up to a hill to see the far of the land
Well the sign will say, “There’s still a higher one”
And now the day is slowly setting, and the lights on where you’re sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone
