GARY JULES LYRICS - Wichita

"Wichita"



The buffalo are out among the falling stars tonight

Shadows cross the kitchen in the afternoon

Daylight break on the hemisphere

I jumped in the water;

you left too soon.



Blood red sun, moon on the water

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

And the rails bear a dangerous cargo there

Through the latter days of dreamtime

And the screen door is busted

And the hours fall and wither away

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

I'm standing in this truck stop in Coeur D'Alene.



Yeah, I come from sad stories

Yeah, I come from lonely people too

Yeah, I come from California

Where God is green and the eyes are blue

Where God is green and the eyes are blue.



And the bird is flown already

Like the guns are drawn already



Blood red sun, moon on the water

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

And the rails bear a dangerous cargo there

Through the latter days of dreamtime

And the screen door is busted

And the hours fall and wither away

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

I'm standing here just waiting on my judgement day.



Buffalo are out among the falling stars tonight

Shadows cross the kitchen in the afternoon

Daylight break on the hemisphere

I jumped in the water;

You left too soon.



And the screen door is busted

And the hours fall and wither away

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

I'm standing in this truckstop in Coeur D'Alene

Everything is frozen north of Wichita

I'm standing in this truckstop in Couer D'Alene.
