J1996
➤The WALKABOUTS were an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1984.
The core members were vocalist *CARLA TORGERSON* and vocalist and songwriter *CHRIS ECKMAN*
The band drew inspiration from folk and country music, particularly Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young and Johnny Cash, but also from other types of artists
and musical styles such as Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, French chanson and Jacques Brel.
Their sound was typically rich, with string arrangements and keyboards in addition to the standard rock instruments. In reviews the band's music was often described
as melancholic or mellow, while Eckman's lyrics, concerning such themes as human relations, loneliness and restlessness, were often emphasized as poetic.

I go to sleep, before
The devil wakes
And I wake up, before
The angels take
All my worldly desires
All my yardsticks of fear
All my secrets untold
All my motives unclear
Hangin' down in the fire
Burnin' them higher
Won't take them away from here
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on X2
Watched the city ... city of crows
Watched them fly, watched
'em all flyin' low
Out above the flood plain
Just above the dirt road
They were hungry as winter
Hungry as us
Not afraid to be flyin', not
Afraid to be lost
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on X2
And if you bury me, add
Three feet to it
One for your sorrow, two
For your sweat
Three for the strange
Things we never forget
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on X2
And long after we're safe
The lights will not fade X2
