Slides Down The Ways

the mountain made the face of a child in the paper
when you look a little closer its a ship sliding down the ways
the ways
slides down the ways
you saw it go off the wharf that day
slides down the ways
you saw it go off the dock that day
55 ton, 53 feet
vessel was christened by betty duckworth, daughter of f.w. duckworth
mayor of norfolk
slides down the ways
you saw it go off the wharf that day
slides down the ways
you saw it go off the dock that day

Four Leaf Clover

never saying you won again
baby's come home broke again
clocks are all set to the wrong time
you're always rushing always rushing
ahead of everything in line
clutching for your four leaf clover
even though you know its over
lucks run out lucks run dry
left you asking why
over the hills and mountains
you swore you saw the brand new day arrive
clutching for your four leaf clover
even though you know its over
lucks run out lucks run dry
left you asking why
and the night seemed to last forever
and the windows they were covered over
and the time you spent it seemed to have
no clock attached to it, what's happening?
what did i do?
what did i do?
clutching for your four leaf clover
even though you know its over
lucks run out lucks run dry
left you asking why
left you asking why
left you asking why
left you asking why

cherry blossoms in the street
falling down, its 4 degrees
and the night watchman's keys
rattling in the streets
rattling like the bones of a skeleton
dominion building
reaching to the sky
they tore it down
and now the birds fly by
you broke in for a bracelet
to wear on your arm
put your crops in planted deep
gonna catch the winds a coming strong you know
nothing ever is out of reach
rattling like the bones
rattling like the bones
dominion building
reaching to the sky
they tore it down
and now the birds fly by
you broke in for a bracelet
to wear on your arm

Burn The Town Down

rolled up in my pocket your number written down
on a matchbook Noah used to burn his town down
following the land
following the land
holed up in the country
beaches going wild
seagulls play dead in the sky
and waves are crashing
party is loud
and the noise goes out
to the ocean
to the ocean
you and i know
you can't play when you're gone
you can't play when you're gone or when you're out
if you don't stick around
you're gone motherfucker
you're gonna be gone
rolled up in a flatbed
dragging on the sand
playing in my face
my favourite place I've ever been
all over the land
all over the land
Noah's in the attic
looking at his hands
burned a semi circle
and he's never been the same
never been the same
you and i know
you can't play when you're gone
you can't play when you're gone or when you're out
if you don't stick around
you're gone motherfucker
you're gonna be gone

you will be here in my life
you will be here in my life
well, lately you sound like you're making everything up
you know what to say do you know where to go
the wind is crying
shoulder the sky
pull the hoist
drink the ale
somebody needs love
and we think of
all the ones who got away
you are lost in the wood
Genevieve be way less understood
in the ways that you walk and the streets
how they talk in your ear
you've seen more now than you've seen in years
you will be here in my life
well, lately you sound like you're making everything up
you know what to say do you know where to go
the wind is crying
shoulder the sky
pull the hoist
drink the ale
somebody needs love
and we think of
all the ones who got away
you are lost in the wood
Genevieve be way less understood
in the ways that you walk and the streets
how they talk
you will be here in my life
you will be here in my life
you will be here in my life

the junior law class this year is unusually strong this year
strong in numbers and personality and strong in class spirit and unity
the roughest weather was in the balloon ride together
blown out to sea by a scottish breeze, jonny never made it back did he
then he disappeared into the water
at home he signed away his rights as a sailor to be buried at sea
but the balloon had something else in store
don't guess anymore
jonny don't guess no more
