Did you see our brother 
He was here the other day 
But he only came to say that he was leaving 
Did you see his lady 
She was looking where he'd gone 
But she wasn't letting on 
That she was grieving 

She's bound to go 
Perhaps she'll find him waiting 
For his boat in some city far away 
She's bound to go 

Lately I remember 
Afternoons of smoke and wine 
There was nothing we could find 
But peace and pleasure 
And with a smile he told me 
That he wanted just to be on his way 
Across the sea no man can measure 

He won't be back, 
And the sun may find him sleeping 
In the dust of some ruin far away 
He won't be back 

Early today as I watched while 
The skyline was shaking 
I heard a rumbling 
Early today the mechanical city was waking 
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling 
Out through the laughter 
Of children and dogs 

Did you see our brother 
He was here the other day 
But he only came to say that 
He can't breathe here 
Did you see his lady 
She was reaching for his hand 
Just as if to tell her man 
That she can't either 

They're bound to go 
And the sun may find me running after them, 
Seeing something far away 
We won't be back 

...COUNTER SONG AT THE END OF "FROM SILVER LAKE" 
.....Someone who had been away 
.....Suddenly came back today 
.....And I allowed him home today into my mind 
.....For a moment face to face 
.....Evil packed upon the place 
.....Long ago he meant to stay out there this time 
.....Oh, what do you know 
.....The love that I've been feeling 
.....The past is healing so slow 
.....By tomorrow, gone from sorrow.
