The Great Unknown - Ezra Furman

A song is a dream that keeps going on when it’s over

A man hears a song in the soft-spoken voice of his lover

A hero goes on when the others believe it’s all over

A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother

A crow with a broken wing stands at the side of the highway

A traveler finds a place to sleep at the end of a long day

I speak through a telephone

You can’t decipher what I say

We’ll meet in Decatur

I’ll tell you I love you in five days

A human is something that rises and falls over time dear

Your breathing slows down and you sleep in the fluorescent light dear

We’re passing through town and there isn’t a soul we can trust here

We don’t use our real names, we struggle, we do what we must here

Drive with me into the Great Unknown

I think we’re on our own.

I think we’re really on our own

A song is a dream that keeps going on when it’s over

A man hears a song in the soft-spoken voice of his lover

A hero goes on when the others believe it’s all over

A sister is strong when she fights for the cause of her brother
