Harlequin Bands
I was wrong She showed me disaster footage at night I played along I was shipped out and I swore I would write Towers of tapes She used them as candles when her people died Just a storm off the capes Every few nights I dream she is alive We built some dams We took on the river, we raised the deceased Harlequin bands Shovelling sand at the mouth of the beast We watched them 'till dawn Mudslides, firestorms, twisters, and floods Since she's been gone The sunset glows with the heat of her blood We built some dams We took on the river, we raised the deceased Harlequin bands Shovelling sand at the mouth of the beast I've got her name tattooed on my boat I left her after my weeks on the shore I told her I worked for the government Now no one goes to the shore anymore We built some dams We took on the river, we raised the deceased Harlequin bands Shovelling sand at the mouth of the beast |
