A Sound and a Devil

You went away on a plane 
And we waited
While six weeks went by
And when you returned you stated
I'm sick of this place goodbye

So many days so many echoes
A sound and a devil in your dreams
A sound isn't always what it seems
And the devil had his word said
While the Lord had offered a piece of bread

The red eye made you tired
Up so early you were wired
What would have been
Had you never come home
Leaving your sons and daughter alone
Whether or not you were there
Made a difference
Though the rain was always coming down

So many days so many echoes
A sound and a devil in your dreams
A sound isn't always what it seems
And the devil had his word said
While the Lord had offered a piece of bread

If you listen close
You can hear the rain
And the absence of commotion
Blurring the marshgrass
Shitfting the tide
Changing the shape of the ocean

So many days
So many echoes
A sound and a devil in your dreams
A sound isn't always what it seems
And the devil had his word said
While the Lord had offered a piece of bread
