 No info for this song is available.  2004-04-19 - Metro - Chicago, IL, US |  columbus sailed on many moons on a sea of hope i'll be back it won't be soon with every word I wrote it's gone a sentence in a dusty book on a spartan shelf the guards hold up her falling roof with everything they know it's gone/gone/gone upon the shores of avalon a soldier rests his head the birds pick up the sweetest spot to build their lonely nest it's gone/gone/gone it's gone/gone/gone mother/I cried/mother/I cried for us/for us we pull the tree up by its roots its shade no longer full the fish hide in the longest reeds ignoring their own rules it's gone/gone/gone spinning a new parasol she gathered up the street they used far too much dynamite to bring 300 feet of the wheel/on down kaleidoscopes of spinning tales that i'd one day write the island fell to disrepair it fell right from my sight it's gone/gone/gone gone/gone/gone mother/I cried/mother/I cried for us/for us the horses dug the deeper pits with strength herefor not seen we lived for gods we cannot see they're gone and everything I ever loved i loved way too song a pauper plays his final act refusing to lose it's gone/gone/gone the men we know to hoist a glass to every fallen friend they tore the castle down so quick never thinking of the end it's gone/gone/gone mother/I cried/mother/I cried for us/for us the years don't need your oxygen they need your summer gates a temple to a single train delivered on the rust it's gone/gone/gone he drew the lines upon her breast stopping to his eye she stood and watched the ships come in passing on her left they're gone/gone/gone i reach for their benevolence cast in endless gold our cold is pure will to change when everything is sold it's gone/gone/gone gone/gone/gone mother/I cried/mother/I cried for us/for us in every house a story lies and we begin again conductor cues the danube waltz as the swans begin to swim it's gone some would call this happiness others mere progress i drew the stanzas best I could from the basement chest it's gone/gone/gone the pianos played so out of tune their lids were nailed shut the tracks of a thousand wheels had all been given up/years ago they're gone/gone/gone mother/I cried/mother/I cried for us/for us zion sends her signal out/out to outer space god put me into his mouth like jonah and the whale i'm gone/gone/gone a child was meant to lead us out to show us where to rest we found a spot beside her gaze to watch the rockets bless us it's gone i wore your heart inside my heart until it grew scarred in the sargeant took the sharpest knife to cut the bullets out/pinned to him it's gone/gone/gone mother/i cried/mother/I cried for me/for you and one day when they strip her bare down to copper form will you be still standing there wondering whatever for they do that which they do they should leave it all to you... |
