Then I go quiet like the rain
It's never the right time when you go
Of all of the love I gave
I wanted it back from you the most
All the papers say I'm following a distant sail
Like you, lady, I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm gonna follow
Remember the taste of river mouth
The crossing of Earth by star and stealth
Of all of the empires I built
As you fell, my dear, the dawn sung out and I shed all my doubt
All the papers say I'm following a distant sail
Like you, lady, I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm gonna follow
Arms extended liberty
The way she looked at you, you thought you heard God's call to enmity
Of all of the moments left to be
It's now, my love, the time is now, Lord, come and gather me
All Lord's little children can't come in
That's the way it's always been
Call it what you will, I call it sin
All Lord's little children
The devil you pay
The chosen have been chosen
Don't try to tame me
All empires, they must fall
You lead, I'll follow
You lead and I'll follow
You lead and I'll follow
All empires, they must fall
