The Bell Beat

Labrador
I had a dream that God didn't swap Isaac with a lambWhen old Abraham came down with his handThe poor boys head rolled across the land.It was a gruesome sceneYou were swallowed by the seaThe women wore black on their faces to hide wet cheeks.They cried, “Oooh.”They dredged up your body. You'd been gone three days.Visitors stormed from far awayTorn up to find old Dave had been nabbed by the Labrador wavesLittle Davey was especially changedHe went from a boy to a man just as the wake was arranged.The casket was beautifulOh, she was beautifulThe flowers were beautifulIt was beautiful…We cried, “Oooh.”You sat up to stares, asked why we were there.I didn't believe itI still don't believe it, no.Mama nearly had a stroke, pointed her finger and spokeShe said, “This old heart needs your love.My little Davey needs your love.You know this whole damn town needs your love.The Labrador sea, needs your loveMy, my (it all) needs your love.Right now…” Aus Songtexte Mania
