lyrics

This is how the story ends
wrapped in photographs left on the counter

this is how the summer ends
in the embrace of burning autumn’s lover

I took your wish
to the shattered kiss
of the holy shrine
of the underpass

and all the words we tried to drown
in the oil fields and in our beds
silently blazing in your head

I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing
I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing

you said you wanted to see the show
so you leaned out from the secrets
only angels know

and you sat in the rain-soaked stands
while the crowd fled through the lands

after the riots
in the infant streets
it’s where you and I
maybe we could meet

I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing
I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing

and you saw me on my crucifix
of an empty page
in the mechanical touch
of the tv age

and you took my hand
and you burned all
of yesterday’s songs

and you led me back
to the flooded stands
where the words quit the stage

you smiled and said
here’s where the story ends

I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing
I don’t know who we are
I don’t know where we are
but maybe it’s enough to sing

I keep my sins in my back pocket with some loose change
in the summertime
howl through eternity
in the summertime
hey baby did I do what’s right
such a beautiful day to say
hey there pretty girl
with a song in her hair
