Scott Walker — Get Behind Me lyrics

Lyrics

It’s the signs as we see them
There’s no thresholds at all
There’s no vows to be broken
As we rise, or we fall
There’s no noise high above us As the moon turns in space
Just the face of a lady
Who we loved for her grace
Get behind me, Get behind me Won’t you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me Remind me to remind me Not to go back there again
When the threads of dark moments
Start to tremble with sound
And an almost formed whisper dies
The boundaries surround
We keep reaching beyond us Through the shape shifting clouds
Why ain’t I like you brother,
So electric, so proud
Get behind me, Get behind me Won’t you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me Remind me to remind me Not to go back there again
Set us free of this feeling
So we’ll be once again
So we won’t feel the gravity of time
And the face in the faces
Of the loves we move through
Reappears in original design
Get behind me, Get behind me Won’t you bend my ear again
I really need a friend
Get behind me, Get behind me Remind me to remind me Not to go back there again
