lyrics

Father, he left us a ransom note
Estranged to believe in the things that he wrote
I once was a cloud
Mourned the frozen sea
And I never tire of her elegy
Sing to me

Corner store pavement is littered with thieves
The man there sells nickels a bottle a piece
I once played for keeps, but it's too late for that
I turn bottles to nickels and I turn them back

Singing spare me the weight of your beatitudes
I am a carpenter too.

Where are they all?
Smoke, ashes, fable
They move beyond the grave
We work for the dawn
From casket to cradle
And we are a long way

Boys turn to men and the men become bones
We work for the dawn though we won't see the morn
Only grey eyes know the bricklayers trade
Love's labored long for the end of the days

The wages dont pay and the hours pass long
Bold grows the crypt for my granddaughter’s son
They carve his inscription for embalmed eyes to read
In love letters, permanent, cast to the seas

Singing spare me the weight of your beatitudes
I am a carpenter too.

Where are they all?
Smoke, ashes, fable
They move beyond the grave
We work for the dawn
From casket to cradle
And we are a long way

These ships sail on
The safe of the stable
They move beyond the grave
We build an arc
Toward the turn of the table
And we are a long way
