The Remnant Lyrics - So Runs The World Away - Josh Ritter

I know who you are old man keep running 

I caught your trail as you left the pines 

Out into the fields where you couldn't hide nowhere 

Just a thin stitch up against the rising line 

And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling 

Up through the blue I knew the star were tumbling 

I know who you are old man keep running 

I tracked you down by the look in the eyes 

Of a thousand gone faces pressed against their windows 

Horses hiding in the willows til the storm passed by 

And a fine gray dust seemed to settle on the future 

A fine gray dust seemed to settle in between 

Your hat and the dapple of my appaloosa 

The only living things that I could see 

And up through the blue I knew that stars were tumbling 

Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling

I know who you are old man keep running 

I walked across the bottom of the lake below 

Your boat and did you know that when you landed I was watching 

As the sky turned dark as the eyes of a foal 

And I'll know you by the shift of the wind in the cobwebs 

The sawdust swirls in the fins of the bullheads 

The craters that you made when you lay down dreaming 

Strange constellations that you gave new meaning 

By the teeth marks you made on bones from the ice age 

Then smell of the cinder burning slow in your rib cage 

Listen in the distance and you'll hear my shadow 

Footsteps soft as the tread of an echo 

And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling 

Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling 

And the ground will open out into a mouth below us 

And the mouth will open out into the empty sky 

And the whistle as we hurtle through the halls of onyx 

The only sound around us as we go by 

Photos 

And I'll follow you out through the wells of charcoal 

Moonlit stones around the cones of a black hole 

Through the fields where grow the ever and forever 

The tessellated blooms with the voids at their centers 

Through the million rooms in a bead of luminescence 

The filaments on the looms of dimension 

The pillars of creation where they make the planets 

The billion tiny teeth that tear the charge from your atoms 

In a trillion tiny bites they'll eat the meat from the pearl 

And throw your soul away a cold gray little world 

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed 

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed 

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed
