Rough Weather

I was young when first I felt the change
Magnetic sky, everything was electric pink
My mother she came, she carried me back to the house
But I kept my eyes on the spinning clouds

And I, I’ve been waiting my whole life
For rough weather, for rough weather

Liquid visions of a future run like a river through my mind
Even now I see what will come to be
In a blacked-out gas station aisle, right after The Fall
I can see us all, we’re laying down tall

And you, you’ve been waiting your whole lifе too
For rough weather, for rough weathеr

All around we see the flash of goggled eyes
And hear the sound of tiny new machines
We hold our breath because they can see our heat
Red flowers blooming on their tiny screens

You are so brave but almost none of us get out
I hear my name, I follow the sound
Your leg is a bloody knot of tendon and bone
You tell me to run but you know that I won’t

We both, we’ve been waiting our whole lives
For rough weather, for rough weather
Yeah we both, been waiting our whole lives
For rough weather
