The Weatherman's Warning Lyrics

The Weatherman's Warning

01 - The Warning

Deeper inside

Where the white coals are burning

We meet just to dance

Between living and learning

I'm gonna be a better brother

Gonna love another

Gonna start running from my rage

I'm heading into running water

Heading into fire

Heading into tearing out this page

Like galaxies diving

Across easy water

I'll follow the doe just

A little bit farther

Yes you know that I will

You better find yourself another

Better get to loving

Better start healing from that pain

The weatherman's giving warning

Better get to moving

Heaven's coming early for its pay

I'm gonna be a better brother

Gonna love another

Gonna start running from my rage

I'm heading into running water

Heading into fire

Heading into tearing off this page

You better find yourself another

Better get to loving

Better start healing from that pain

The weatherman's giving warning

Better get to moving

Heaven's coming early for its pay

02 - Blackberries Prelude

It was a perfect summer day

All the blackberries were out

And even grandpa left his cane

He was running himself around

And I'd meet you by the well

But we had nothing else to wish

We were sitting back watching that

Sun go 'round

Telling all the stories from our

Lost and found

Never knowing just around the morning

Was the end of the line

Before the blackberries died

And we left that life behind

It was the fourth day of July

And I was hiding in the house

Yeah there was fire in the sky

I never liked the way it shouts

But on a perfect summer day

We couldn't put that fire out

We were sitting back watching that

Sun go 'round

Telling all the stories from our

Lost and found

Never knowing just around the morning

Was the end of the line

Before the blackberries died

And we left that life behind

We were sitting back watching that

Sun go 'round

Telling all the stories from our

Lost and found

Never knowing just around the morning

Was the end of the line

Never knowing just around the morning

Was the end of the line

Never knowing just around the morning

Was the end of the line

Before the blackberries died

And we left that life

03 - Blackberries

Don't disappear brother

I can see it in your eyes

You're stuck in that summer

When even the blackberries died

I've been thinking a lot about leaving

For your city

But I still remember

The life that we left underneath

We came with our shovels

We dug up the others

But maybe the good

Is still in the ground

Or maybe what went up

Never came down

Keep looking

Keep looking

Remember that summer

We thought it was snow on the ground

But the sky was on fire

The ash never stopped coming down

We ran for the bushes

But that fire beat us to it

But maybe the good

Is still in the ground

Or maybe what went up

Never came down

Keep looking

Keep looking

Always keep looking

You gotta keep looking

Been thinking a lot about leaving

For your city

But if I stop looking

What could I ever see

Don't disappear brother

I can see it in your eyes

You're stuck in that summer

When even the blackberries died

04 - Identity

I might live someone else's dream

But that grass is green

Across the street

And I might be younger than I seem

But times are lean and I got mean

Imitating men on the TV screen

I spent every single dollar and cent

It didn't even make a dent

I didn't know I'd end up this empty

Yeah that's why

I traded in all of my time

Living off of little white lies

I guess I hoped that I'd just get lucky

But God gives God takes

I think it's time He takes away the old me

For new identity

I might be someone's favorite thing

But someone's not me

Because of what I've seen

And I might be ready to receive

But time's a thief and I got grief just

Waiting on time to intervene

I spent every single dollar and cent

It didn't even make a dent

I didn't know I'd end up this empty

Yeah that's why

I traded in all of my time

Living off of little white lies

I guess I hoped that I'd just get lucky

But God gives God takes

I think it's time He takes away the old me

For new identity

Father help me

Father help me

God intervene

God intervene

I might love someone else's dream

But my grass is green

From what I can see

05 - I'll Go With It

I'll be here to keep you steady

I'll hold up what's heavy

If it goes down

I'll go with it

When the waves aren't rolling over

And the sun's still burning

Up your shoulders

And you don't have a doubt

That you made it

If your red sky started raining

Even when you spent

The whole day praying

It would stay away

But it didn't

I'll be here to keep you steady

I'll hold up what's heavy

If it goes down

I'll go with it

It's no fun getting older

When you realize that the world

Won't fit right on your shoulders

So you drop it

It breaks

You made it worse with

Duct tape

But I'll be here to keep you steady

I'll hold up what's heavy

If it goes down

I'll go with it

I'll be here to keep you steady

I'll hold up what's heavy

If it goes down

I'll go with it

Yeah if it goes down

I'll go with it

When it goes down

I'll go with it

06 - Birds

Birds on the corners of roofs

Tipping forward into a free fall

But someday is coming faster

Than you think

You would rather it not be

But lets tell the truth

Whatever it might be

You say that it's me

And I can't disagree but

Lets get it out of the way

They say it'll give us freedom

Lets try it on for size and find a reason

They say it'll give us peace

Sweet relief from the grief

And I'm trying to believe them

Wading through waterless skies

Fumbling through the outside

Trying

Feels like I've got one shot left

I hope I survive

I'm leaving behind

They say it'll give us freedom

Lets try it on for size and find a reason

They say it'll give us peace

Sweet relief from the grief

And I'm trying to believe them

They say it'll give us freedom

I'm ready for you

Are you ready for me

I think about it every day

In every way

I'm not ready for you

Are you ready for me

I think about it every day

In every way

I'm ready for you

Are you ready for me

I think about it every day

In every way

I'm ready for you

Are you ready for me

I think about it every day

In every way
