lyrics

A Void About Town

On the washline of your old home
Mothers old node come on here we go
Lines of houses, torn egos, wet windows
Among the brambles, thorny breaches we’ll go
Tired lovers hang from old bed posts and mali lovers hang about with their heads held down
In the culdesace of your old home
Mothers old node, we’ll get by some how
High above my culdesac ambition
I am bound by all my sad traditions
Marrianne buys apron strings, and
Me I find myself amused by my old man’s things
Dangling like a jewel on a wire
Around and round and round.
Things have been strange since you're gone
Everybody’s wandering along
I’ve been here alone with my head held down in the sand
And you’re all aloof and you won’t take my hand
