Lyrics
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"
Remember when 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
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
Remember when I went down, running down
Took the B61 across town
To where you were waiting at the ice house
Wish it was my house
You took me out back for a drink
Showed me the heart on your sleeve
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
For forty-one days and as many nights
I'll be standing where we stood
Under an indigo sky
Watching flames jump from firewood
