Stories Songtext
von Indio

In the sweet September sky
And the world weighs on my shoulders
There I wrote the writing on the wall
And I wrote the words before it all
And as the days passed I put on age
And as the time flickered I held fast
For I have seen destiny unfold
And I know the story before it′s told

Stories of truth and divine intervention
Stories of bliss and of grief
Stories of more than the one last connection
Stories that's still to be told


And on this ocean there are leaves on the water
That rise to the surface to dry in the sun
And fall on this wave of the trees and the gunfire
Ash stains like blood on the wall

And wisdom still speaks stronger
However insufferable the hold
The house that we burn is still our own
And so it has gone as I have been stayed
Eternally damned yet I don′t misread

For I have seen destiny unfold
And I know the story before it's told
Stories of truth and divine intervention
Stories of bliss and of grief
Stories of more than the one last connection
Stories that's still to be told
