Tumbleweeds
While the sun rises in town
Against the fields of brown
The mystery of the soul
Keeps the heart from growing old
Shadows still creep along
Casting a ghostly song
Dogs still have to bark
Flowers still grow in the park
Streetlights still keep time
The breeze still pushes it's rhyme
The grass still needs to grow
The river still needs to flow
There's danger on the streets
There's danger in the backseat
There's danger in the alley ways
There's danger in what use to be
The colony are inside
The lonely have company
Those who cry, cry louder
Those who fear, fear harder
Tumbleweeds dance along
The avenues light
While the people watch
And count how many have died
Tumbleweeds dance along
The empty sidewalks plight
While the people watch
And count them as they go by
When will they come out and play?
It's too hard to say
Will they dance on the same familiar place?
Or will the Tumbleweeds take their stage?
Chorus:
Tumbleweeds come tumbling down
Tumbling along the ground
Tumbleweeds come tumbling down
Tumbling without a sound
