Elephant's Memory - Martin Sexton[00:00:00]

Calling calling[00:00:15]

Father wanted to run away[00:00:24]

With the circus as a kid[00:00:29]

Or a teen escape to the priestly way[00:00:34]

And in a way he almost did[00:00:38]

Twelve children 'round the supper table[00:00:44]

Every blessed one is his[00:00:48]

Chanting ten turns 'round the rosary[00:00:53]

The holy circus that it is [00:00:58]

And me I'm looking on[00:01:03]

With elephant's memory[00:01:04]

At that old elephant in the living room[00:01:06]

You know the one we try not to see[00:01:12]

The one who aint gonna be leaving too soon[00:01:16]

Soon soon soon[00:01:20]

He's calling he's calling [00:01:29]

Mother asked me what I'm grateful for[00:01:39]

We make up something one by one[00:01:44]

Father says forgive us sinners lord[00:01:49]

Staring right at me when he's done[00:01:54]

Baby sees the elephant[00:02:00]

Like she sees the steam rising off her plate[00:02:02]

But soon enough she'll fall in line[00:02:08]

And finally learn to look away[00:02:12]

Away away away away away away[00:02:16]

As the secrecy's[00:02:33]

Calling calling[00:02:36]

As the secrecy's[00:02:43]

Keeping the lock on the gate[00:02:45]

Guarding us in our safe place[00:02:49]

Watching and waiting for[00:02:54]

Someone to step out of line[00:02:56]

Enforcing with anti-grace[00:02:58]

All of you keepers[00:03:03]

And wanna be sleepers[00:03:06]

Wake up there's a message so clear[00:03:08]

I saw the elephant[00:03:13]

And I looked him in the eye[00:03:15]

And he begged me[00:03:18]

Not to tell you he's here he's here[00:03:19]

He's here He's here[00:03:23]

He's here here He's here[00:03:31]

And he's calling calling calling calling[00:03:44]
