Dry October Noon Lyrics

Ruark Dry October Noon

Once upon a dry October noon
A heat wave came through my door
And the lights flickered in my room
Since that day it's all been coming clear
When the people started acting weird
And the dullness in their eyes was fear

When you're alone and you don't want to go I know
You're better off away from here
Where people can't point and sneer
Yeah they count your tears
Oh they lie and smear

Here we are today eight billion strong
No one thought to slow down
to make room for us all
In the event famine takes it's toll
just remember
the meat of my hearts not my soul

When you're alone and you don't want to go I know
You're better off away from here
Where people can't point and sneer
Yeah they count your tears
Oh they lie and smear

When you're alone and you don't want to go I know
You're better off away from here
Where people can't point and sneer
Yeah they count your tears
Oh they lie and smear
Yeah they count your tears
And they lie and smear
