Omaha Lyrics

Artist: Counting Crows
Album: August And Everything After

Start tearing the old man down
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground Roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night, there's an old man treading around in the gathered rain
Well mister, if you're going to walk on water
Could you drop a line my way?

Omaha Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door

Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire Roll a new life over
In the middle of the night, there's an old man threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister, you don't want to walk on water
you're only going to walk all over me

Omaha Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of the matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door

Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day, there's a young man rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey Mister, if you're going to walk on water
You know you're only going to walk all over me.

Omaha Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you better turn your ticket in
And get your money back at the door

by Kirsten. on 8/23/2009 2:56pm I've always loved The Counting Crows since my mom first introduced me to them when I was about eight years old. I'll play their songs around some of my friends, but they all think it's either trash or odd, and it makes me feel sorry to be part of this generation.
by Wendy Brown on 9/11/2009 9:18am I love all counting crows songs. It brings back good and bad memories of a time in my life.
by you all a bunch of youngsters on 11/7/2009 8:25pm i was in 7th grade when August and Everything After was released...i did not need my mom to introduce me to this music, this entire album is amazing!
by stephen on 11/15/2009 9:32am This song is about hope of the future. Changing ones past. The old man is mentioned twice in the night( as if he is hiding) -- He then turns into a young boy in the middle of the day that has found balance in life.transformation from the old man trying to secue the rain and the young boy that finds balance in earth and rain.
by stephen on 11/15/2009 9:35am walking on water is what other perceive when you rise above or make a decision to change. thread the needle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
