Everything Is Alright

from Ghost Road by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

Sun bleached sky hanging over regret
If nothing was taken then why is there nothing left?
Black clouds over gold rows
Let a hard rain follow
And if you ain't homesick then neither am I
Come on honey let's ride
Into a craving mad midnight far from city lights
Where everything is alright

Blanket the beast with a righteous lament
Like the blood of the faithful on the dirty cement
Prayers in silence through a hot microphone
Like delta rays scattering for home
And if you ain't frightened then I ain't scared
Come on baby let's push on
Until the love we've made spreads out like paradise
Where everything is alright

My fists turn blue from the pain I keep
Sewn are fields I'll never reap
There's a hunger not burdened by any longing or lust,
lying still in this forest of steel and rust
But if you ain't disgusted honey neither am I
Come on sugar let's fly
Straight through some shattered dreams into the wild blue
Where everything is alright

The sky was put up high to leave a lot of headroom
The ground laid-out for bodies to rest tight
And for a little lovin' The Lord made two
And everything is alright

Voices rushing down a deserted street
Spirits stir to a stampede
I'm picking up memories, some lost and some broken
While we hold-out with words unspoken
And if you ain't crying then mama maybe you should
Come on, let's get somewhere good
Out of the muck of our souls and the high water that keeps rising
Where everything is alright
