August 28th - Chris Pureka[00:00:00]
August 28th and the rain slid in [00:00:25]
Like a brooding lullaby[00:00:28]
The barn behind the school burned down[00:00:33]
And the cat got the bird[00:00:36]
The whole town watched a man[00:00:40]
Jump from the fifth story roof [00:00:42]
I think the whole world needs a shoeshine [00:00:46]
I think we're all a living proof[00:00:51]
(so the story goes)[00:00:54]
Some days it's a present that you open [00:01:13]
Some days it's a box full of nails[00:01:16]
Some times you think[00:01:21]
You spend your whole life[00:01:22]
Just counting grains of sand[00:01:24]
With some blood on your cuff[00:01:28]
And some dust in your eye[00:01:30]
And some train station love [00:01:32]
We've been we've been out[00:01:36]
There fighting the good fight[00:01:38]
Where have you been [00:01:40]
Where have you been [00:01:44]
And so[00:01:55]
Saddle up for the carneval ride [00:01:56]
Bring the celebration home[00:01:59]
I've got a coffee cup full of whiskey [00:02:03]
You've got a broken violin[00:02:07]
Marie knit a scarf for the dogwood tree[00:02:37]
That looked cold all winter long [00:02:40]
And the old man smiled at the pigeon[00:02:44]
That stole his last piece of bread[00:02:47]
Hallelujah we're all flying home[00:02:52]
On the backs of the leaving swans[00:02:55]
We've got our hats tipped to Camelot[00:02:58]
We've got a long long way to go[00:03:03]
Yeah we've got a long long way to go[00:03:06]
Yes we[00:03:11]
Saddle up for the carneval ride [00:03:12]
Bring the celebration home[00:03:15]
I've got a coffee cup full of whiskey [00:03:18]
You've got a broken violin[00:03:22]
Saddle up for the carneval ride [00:03:27]
Bring the celebration home[00:03:30]
We've been out there fighting the good fight [00:03:33]
Where have you come[00:03:39]
Lord where have you come[00:03:42]
