"The Rider #1" lyrics - NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS

'When?' said the moon to the stars in the sky
'Soon' said the wind that followed them all

'Who?' said the cloud that started to cry
'Me' said the rider as dry as a bone

'How?' said the sun that melted the ground
And 'Why?' said the river that refused to run

And 'Where?' said the thunder without a sound
'Here' said the rider and took up his gun
