Weird Song​/​Why My Love [Reprise]

from Landmine by The Post-Timey String Band

/

lyrics

I will rest
My old head
In this old
Familiar place,

And I will always
Revel in
Its old
Familiar taste.

I will let its brutal winds
Blow right through my brittle bones;
I will let its sculptors carve
Into my heart as if it were stone.

And when they finally come for me
In the cloudy skies,
I will not see their bright street lights
Through my blurry eyes,
And though they finally take me out
Into the night,
Oh,
I will not escape.
I will wonder,
“why?”
And I’ll ask them,
“Will I
Ever
Make It
Out of here
Alive?”

Town’s people watch
My hair grow long,
Spin their trail to
The shadow of a lark,

Listen quietly
As I sing several Songs.
Now, they wonder on
My hollowness and dark.

I will let their brutal winds
Blow right through my brittle bones;
I will let its sculptors carve
Into my heart as if it were stone.

And when they finally come for me
In the cloudy skies,
I will not see their bright street lights
Through my blurry eyes,
And though they finally take me out
Into the night,
Oh,
I will not escape.
I will wonder,
“why?”
And I’ll ask them,
“Will I
Ever
Make It
Out of here
Alive?”

Why, my love, do you go?
And take my heart into war?
The landmine’s not a safe place,
The landmine’s not a safe place
For us to hide,
But it will be our only shelter for tonight.
