August 28th |
| August 28th and the rain slid in, like a brooding lullaby |
| The barn behind the school burned down and the cat got the bird |
| The whole town watched a man jump from the fifth story roof |
| I think the whole world needs a shoeshine |
| I think we’re all a living proof (so the story goes) |
| Some days it’s a present that you open |
| Some days it’s a box full of nails |
| Some times you think you spend your whole life |
| Just counting grains of sand |
| With some blood on your cuff and some dust in your eye |
| And some train station love |
| We’ve been, we’ve been out there fighting the good fight |
| Where have you been |
| Where have you been? |
| Saddle up for the carneval ride, bring the celebration home |
| I’ve got a coffee cup full of whiskey |
| You’ve got a broken violin |
| Marie knit a scarf for the dogwood tree that looked cold all winter long |
| And the old man smiled at the pigeon that stole his last piece of bread |
| Hallelujah we’re all flying home on the backs of the leaving swans |
| We’ve got our hats tipped to Camelot |
| We’ve got a long long way to go |
| Yeah we’ve got a long long way to go |
| Saddle up for the carneval ride, bring the celebration home |
| I’ve got a coffee cup full of whiskey |
| You’ve got a broken violin |
| Saddle up for the carneval ride, bring the celebration home |
| We’ve been out there fighting the good fight |
| Where have you been |
| Lord, where have you been? |
