Off-Screen - Kevin Devine

I saw you

I saw you

Did you see me?

I was off screen

Off screen

From there I From there I Saw the flood rise

In my daydream

Daydream

With my dead eye

With my dead eye

Watched for vultures

By the road side

Road side

The sun spoke

(It said my name)

The sun spoke

(It said my name)

I answered

«Good morning.

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Cuz I can’t see you now

So I’ve stopped looking out."

The dread collects in clouds

Drifting onscreen

Towards us onscreen

And I can’t see you now

So I stopped looking out

Imagine my surprise

When you became my eyes

And overwhelmed the sky

Now the ground’s hot

And the earth’s dry

Here’s your answer

Here’s your big bright

Here’s your leased life

Here’s your white knight

Here’s your alright

Here’s your alright
