Mewithoutyou

First came a strong wind
Rippin' off rooftops like bottlecaps
And bending lamp posts down in the ground
Then came a thunder shattering my windows
But you were not that strong wind or that might sound
You left the bar in shambles
The rabbit hutch in ruins
The split-rail fence splintered and the curtains torn
All the cows out from the pastures trampling of the pumpkins
And the horses from their stable ambling in the corn
[foreign language chanting:]
Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam
I've flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect
And I've watched you like a falcon from a distance as you passed
Then swooped down to be nearer, to the traces of the footsteps
To pick the fallen grain from the dirt beneath the crooked grass
