This Old Dark Machine |
Spring it came upon us |
Every insect filled the air |
Dropped their wings upon my brother |
Cast their shadows on his hair |
If we follow where they’re leading |
We will surely come before |
Some unseen and wondrous magic |
Made of visions to explore |
Near the town where we were living |
Was an old abandoned farm |
Every year we’d plant an orchid |
In the shelter of it’s arm |
To protect us from the madness |
Of the future still to come |
It will be like this forever |
I will keep you safe from harm |
Then they caught us in the summer |
Dressed in fathers finest clothes |
You the hat he wore to market |
I the jacket filled with holes |
I’ve been searchins all these hours |
For a hand as pale as bone |
That would keep the strongest sunlight |
And reflect the brightest stone |
Near the town where we were living |
Was a warm and fragrant smell |
Of the orchid we had planted |
Now a forest tall and well |
What a statue to our greatness |
What a story all will tell |
They’ll remember us forever |
They’ll remember where we fell |
Bridge |
This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders |
Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter |
But still in the road, the traffic is silent |
The people they stare, and then they turn violent |
If they should touch, the hem of your dress |
I would rise like a lion, strike out again |
The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait |
By the sign |
Near the town where we were living |
Came a loud and joyous sound |
As the earth and all her beauty |
Picked us up from off the ground |
Carried far across the mountain |
To a kingdom never bound |
We will live like this forever |
I will love you |
I will love you |
I will love you |
