B61

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
