My Friend The Chocolate Cake - Fingerbone lyrics
Your rating:
She's walking the railroad She's walking away She stares over the sleepers, the tracks start to join. Right off in the distance at the end of the bridge there's mist off the water her breath bites the air. She's taking her girls away from that town They smiled when they told her With puritan grace You can't raise your children If you're living alone But the webs on the window the slush on the ground the ice and the cold the furnace and dust. She's taking her girls away from that town Now they're out on the river, rowing away from the town, the homeless set round fires on the side of the lake. And they sang as they sailed She stared at the sky and the boat filled with water but only so far. She's taking her girls away from that town
