Each Year

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
 And if you think you might
 Yes, but if it's not so bright
 But if you're a part of my
 Whole life
 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
 Coverin' a fault with
 Trials and coy displays
 Coverin' a fault with
 Trials and coy displays
 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
 And if you think you might
 Yes, but if it's not so bright
 But if you're a part of my
 Whole life
 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 dark
 All that mist in your eyes
 Oh, in the night
 And 80 years isn't enough time or 50 more isn't long enough
 Oh, to right the wrongs
 What you're hiding in your backyard 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
 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
