If By Morning
My bell tower's ringing but isn't you singingWe don't know that song anymoreAnd winter bones breaking if it ain't shook it's shakingThis tangle of fate out my back doorOh threadbare in peril this cold Christmas carolWe jump from the bridge in our mindIt's one for the money, at two you go hungryMy blue shoes are draggin' the lineSo leave a lantern, on the trailI'm not asking for much, just your meadowsweet touchIf by morning you're ready to sailDon't wait for so long 'cause you know that I'm goneYou can lock up your treasure and take drastic measuresWe march toward the grave all the sameIt's a short life of trouble, your church turns to rubbleAnd beauty has never had a nameWell my head's in your braches, I squandered my chancesI've given the last I can giveThis empire's falling the pace is appallingHow can a poor man stand such times and liveLeave a lantern, on the trailSongtexteI'm not asking for much, just your meadowsweet touchIf by morning you're ready to sailDon't wait for so long 'cause you know that I'm goneOh leave a lantern, on the trailI'm not asking for much, just your meadowsweet touchIf by morning you're ready to sailDon't wait for so long 'cause you know that I'm gone
