Kevin Devine Off-Screen lyrics

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?"

'Cause I can't see you now

So I stopped looking out
The dread collects in clouds
Drifting off-screen, towards us off-screen

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
