Dark Globe

Dark Globe
(Syd Barrett - R.E.M.'s version appeared on the 1989 3" CD and 12" vinyl singles for "Orange Crush")

Oh where are you now?
Pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve
When I was alone, you promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground,
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please... please lift a hand, I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat on his hands hang tall

Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?

My head touched the ground, I was half the way down,
Strumming the sand
Please lift a hand, I'm only a person
With eskimo chain, you tattered my brain all the way

Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?
