Elder and Oak |
The faded shine of an old copper coin in each eye |
Was it the sound of a holy roar |
Or a thief stealing through the back door? |
When they carried you home |
Did you think you’d stay long? |
Are you waiting, waiting, waiting |
For something to drink or smoke? |
Does it ever keep you up at night? |
Now you wait for a night to put on his old 45s |
And you dance in the starlit loft |
While the shadows move quiet and soft |
In our coats on the lawn with our Sunday best on |
You were shaking, shaking, shaking |
And under the elder and oak |
We stayed up and we didn’t go home |
And so we lay our backs against the weeds |
A stony sainted silence at our feet |
A million foundry fires lit up the sky |
And as the city slowly stirred they died |
