lyrics

Waited on a Sunday borne a lazy afternoon
Written on the footsteps of an old forgotten tune
Listening while the river exploded in my heart
Miracle of thunder with a soulful counterpart

Chorus:
Too late to the window,
Too late in the year
Too late ‘till the summer ends
And the lonely ones appear

A semblance of virtue like the sweet of alcohol
Poisoned by the thimble, just a moan and then a crawl
As the singer stops a-singing, what tune is it you hear?
The new one starts a-shufflin’ and the lonely ones appear

(Chorus)

Covered by the bloodhounds but frozen on the trail
When strangeness walks upon us the sunshine will prevail
If suddenly you’re someone who can’t complete the thought
Just scatter ‘bout your ashes know the search was not for naught

(Chorus)

A fitful case of remorse, it will only go so far
But a uniformed delivery, that’ll show you where you are
From the torn and tattered minstrel to the unsuccessful sleuth
May the wilderness of discourse not eclipse the truth

(Chorus)
