B61

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He had time on his hands He carried the world on his shoulders He said meet me at the Hudson's edge Help me roll my boulder [Chorus] So I went down, running down Took the B61 across town To where he was waiting at the ice house Wish it was my house He took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on his sleeve [Verse 2] Love is a daily good thing I see it in your smolder But I can't feel it in my hands And I'm wringing them more now I'm older [Chorus] Remember when I went down running down Took the B61 across town To wherе you were waiting at the icе house Wish it was my house You took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on your sleeve [Bridge] Like ships in the night We go down without light We burn up all our anthracite And try to make a spark Find a crack and let it in It'll come, it might be dim Adjust your eyes I know you can You'll find me in the dark How will I know if I'm the last one alive? I'm the last one [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] For forty-one days and as many nights I'll be standing where we stood Under an indigo sky Watching flames jump from firewood
