Each Year

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come on, force it down I'm imagining Come on, force it down I'm imagining Imagining a place where homes are built on frames And where they plant new bulbs along our graves Each year with the fall Each year with the fall Each year [Pre-Chorus] And if you think you might Yes, but if it's not so bright But if you're a part Of my whole life [Chorus] Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if it's Boo's old man He won't know if you're white Oh, in the night [Verse 2] Coverin' a fault with Trials and coy displays Coverin' a fault with Trials and coy If it isn't worth the time to Find out how we go About recalling all the ways And the reasons are for Each year with the fall Each year with the fall Each year [Pre-Chorus] And if you think you might Yes, but if it's not so bright But if you're a part of my Whole life [Chorus] Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if it's Boo's old man He won't know if you're white Oh, in the night Vapor lamps in a parking light You can't see when it's much too far All that mist in your eyes Oh, in the night [Bridge] And eighty years isn't enough time Or fifty more isn't more enough Oh, to right the wrongs What you're hiding in your back yard Is turning innocence to apathy And accusations at another man Oh, 'cause you don't have a prayer To put your life into a Christian's hands Never mind what your daughter is taught in school What she remembers is What she has learned from you [Chorus] Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if it's Boo's old man He won't know if you're white Oh, in the night Vapor lamps in a parking lot You can't see when it's much too dark All that mist in your eyes Oh, in the night
