Blown Away
Pixies · Minotaur [2009]
Now the sun is burning
in deepest space
that's the way things are
through a storm i called you
it fell each day
i didn't get so far
my words get blown away
My lips are moving
if you touch my face
did you hear my screams?
while we were sleeping
i tried to say
even in my dreams
my words get blown away
Now the sun is burning
in deepest space
i didn't get so far
in deepest space
that's the way things are
through a storm i called you
it fell each day
i didn't get so far
my words get blown away
My lips are moving
if you touch my face
did you hear my screams?
while we were sleeping
i tried to say
even in my dreams
my words get blown away
Now the sun is burning
in deepest space
i didn't get so far
