Rooster In Real Life Lyrics

Shadow path through the grass, closing as you walk past

In the east there's nothing there, this hill is like a flight of stairs

Far from home is the same as home if you ignore what you don't know

There's a line of clouds that comes and goes, the air is still then the wind will blow

Behind it all, a rooster in real life

He kicks it off, he never thinks twice

There's a long golden wave, mostly rolling out for days

In the west the things you hate keep their distance until its late

Your daddy lived to 93, a fence blew open now he's free

He leads the way like he's always done, after the moon follows the sun

The sun

Behind it all, a rooster in real life

He kicks it off, he never thinks twice

All night long the peace is smooth

You can dream til the rooster moves

Behind it all, a rooster in real life

He kicks it off, he never thinks twice

Silence blends the black and white, distance loosens what is tight

Lilacs used to cool your yard, the porch was soft when things were hard

The lake is deep, there's so much in it, the sky's the prize and you can win it

Underneath what makes you scared, there's a call to action swimming there

Behind it all, a rooster in real life

He kicks it off, he never thinks twice

Nothing pushed, no one pulled, the cup of silence remained full

Emptiness was all you felt, the whole world was someplace else

All night long, while you slept, the men were gone, the peace was kept

Behind it all, a rooster in real life

He kicks it off. He never thinks twice
