Ride Lyrics - David Sylvian

Messages ran all over town 

Words without sound 

Condemned me 

And left me for dead 

All over again 

It wasn't the first time, but this time 

Things will never be the same 

Ride, ride the very thought into the ground 

In the church of the lost and found 

The angels cry 

Ride, ride until the darkness closes in 

Until the ravaged soul begins 

To reflect the open skies, ride 

The chapel was burned 

Razed to the ground 

From the darkest of clouds 

Small birds tumbled like rain 

Time and again 

You may go charging at windmills 

In these days 

Absurdities never change 

Ride, ride the very thought into the ground 

In the church of the lost and found 

The angels cry 

Ride, ride until the darkness closes in 

Until the ravaged soul begins 

To reflect the open skies, ride 

In the thick of the woods 

The word is taboo 

In the darkest of continents 

Light can deceive you 

Ride, saddle up your thoughts and run to ground 

In this world of lost and found 

The eagles fly, ride
