Standing Still
Reuben & The Dark Lyrics

Well away from the city they carried my life
My life was carried far away from the city.

I'd grown tired of the way that the day treats the night
I was tired of the way day and night interacted with each other.

And no matter how far I ran
Regardless of how much I fled.

Follow the railroad the only thing dry
The railroad was the only dry path to follow.

The path does narrow as Angela's eyes
The path gets more narrow like Angela's eyes.

Oh may my soul be found
Let my soul be found.

Brother
Brother

Here's where I belong
This is where I belong.

I was born by the water the wealth of the sea
I was born near the valuable, life-giving resource of the sea.

And infants awaken with ominous dreams
Even infants wake up from sleep with scary dreams.

And I traveled the world 'till the waltzin the streets
I wandered the world until I was dancing happily in the streets.

On the tail of a hurricane, the trick of the trade
I used a hurricane to my advantage in a skillful way.

I stay angry at angels that stand in the way
I hold onto anger towards people who get in my way.

Who wore a halo of smoke from a passing train
Someone had a smoky aura from a train passing by.

Now the seat at my table's been taken away
Someone has taken away my place at the table.

I'm the same man now that I was when I changed
Although I've changed, I'm still the same person.

See, the birth of a star is a death of it's fate
A star's birth also leads to its eventual death.

Rise up like the water and fall like the rain a lung full of air from an oxygen tank
Get up like water, then fall like rain, feeling full of life like air in a tank.

Make my soul be found
Let my soul be found.

Now Mother
Mother.

Father
Father.

Oh here's where I belong
This is where I belong.

Lay me down, and let my love live forever in this ground
Let me rest and allow my love to live on in this ground forever.
