Order Dallas Good + Richard Reed Parry's album 'Were The Watchtowers' here: goodparry.lnk.to/werethewatchtowers

Wind through the willows, they are alone
Through empty houses, through vines overgrown
New trees sprout up towards new sun
Through the cracks in the road

In the beginning, they were alone
Blossoms made oxygen, rivers made stones
Two legs, then fire, religion
And suburban homes

Slow, wide the waters came
Down fell the rain, the rain, the rain
Alone, it is alone
Alone and alone
It is alone

After the deluge, it is alone
Pummelling rains dissolved all that was known
Vines climb the cliffs towards the sky
And look out at their throne

Slow, wide the waters came
Down fell the rain, the rain, the rain
Alone, it is alone
Alone and alone
It is alone
