lyrics

I don't want to see this Black Building as the wind tears it back down to it's frame. The Foreman has quit, the crew has gone home and I can't build it up again all on my own. Though they said it was an eyesore, not worth the strain of squinting eyes to look upon, I grew fond of that old bastard. It's strong construction kept me anchored to this town. If I can't rebuild it then I am up and gone. I'm useless now and that wind has yet to move on. I'll move as far as feet will take me. Across desert sand and rolling hills and vast prairie. Escape that wind that swallows whole, I'll be so far I won't notice it take you all at all. I'll grow a beard and get a dog, I need no tie, shoes or job. If any doubt that I should have stayed with everybody that's already swept away in my head should still remain, the open air will soon leach it out of my brain. Even though I made it out in time it gives me no pleasure to remind myself. But out here, it isn't lonely being alone. But I should could use some scaffolding, some tools, steel and concrete for pouring, because this is aught here to build with.
