lyrics

Fortune found, fortune changing,
Batten down and pray each station.
Waves swell in elation, then hammer down
against the foundations.
Of the Earth, wet with moss,
draw a cross upon your heart.
Lie in wait and hope to die,
keep so still in open sight.
Pick up your feet, tremors chase,
hop the fence, miss the open gate.
Where you been? Now you're always late,
now it's time I'm sad to say.

See her still smiling face
a stiff fist, a brooch and a cape,
Swaddling her gentle frame.
I was a visitor,
in a dead neighbor's chambers, yeah
Young and old alike,
file through the front door,
the whole of the block came here to see
put the weight on their knees
and know what it means
to brush the cold of her cheek.
And hear no more roaring underneath,
so the chaplain chose a prayer to speak,
but I wasn't listening,
cause I was a prisoner,
in a dead neighbor's chambers.
Young and old alike,
file through the front door,
the whole of the block came here to see
put the weight on their knees
and know what it means
to brush the cold of her cheek.
