Old man lying
By the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking
From the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky

Cold wind ripping
Down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying
By the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Blind man running
Through the light
Of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down
To the river of sight
And you can really understand

Red lights flashing
Through the window
In the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying
In a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Birds.

A song so aetherially wonderful it seems as if there's an orchestra on it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:24 pm

Brilliant interplay of keys and harmonies here.

There's such a depth of elegant but dark melancholy.

It completely belies the ramshackle simplicity of the band's playing and the production.

by Guest Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:29 pm

Wonderful brutal piano

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:30 pm

Track 10 - I Believe in You.

by Guest Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:30 pm
