| [00:00.000] |
spring it came upon us, |
| [00:03.470] |
every insect filled the air |
| [00:07.120] |
dropped their wings upon my brother, |
| [00:08.000] |
|
| [00:10.680] |
cast their shadows on his hair |
| [00:13.000] |
|
| [00:13.890] |
|
| [00:14.570] |
if we follow where they're leading, |
| [00:18.120] |
we will surely come before |
| [00:21.520] |
some unseen and wondrous magic |
| [00:25.450] |
made of visions to explore |
| [00:28.450] |
|
| [00:29.330] |
near the town where we were living |
| [00:32.690] |
was an old abandoned farm |
| [00:36.480] |
every year we'd plant an orchid |
| [00:40.060] |
in the shelter of it's arm |
| [00:43.730] |
to protect us from the madness |
| [00:47.470] |
of the future still to come |
| [00:50.990] |
it will be like this forever |
| [00:54.690] |
It will keep you safe from harm |
| [00:57.780] |
|
| [00:58.920] |
This Old Dark Machine - James Vincent McMorrow |
| [01:13.000] |
|
| [01:13.160] |
then they caught us in the summer |
| [01:16.680] |
dressed in fathers finest clothes |
| [01:20.410] |
you the hat he wore to market |
| [01:23.760] |
I the jacket filled with holes |
| [01:26.960] |
|
| [01:27.770] |
I've been searchins all these hours |
| [01:31.340] |
for a hand as pale as bone |
| [01:34.920] |
that would keep the strongest sunlight |
| [01:38.660] |
and reflect the brightest stone |
| [01:41.720] |
|
| [01:42.370] |
near the town where we were living |
| [01:45.900] |
was a warm and fragrant smell |
| [01:49.700] |
of the orchid we had planted |
| [01:53.180] |
now a forest tall and well |
| [01:57.060] |
what a statue to our greatness |
| [02:00.690] |
what a story all will tell |
| [02:04.240] |
they'll remember us forever |
| [02:08.000] |
they'll remember where we fell |
| [02:11.230] |
|
| [02:27.000] |
this old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders |
| [02:30.650] |
pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter |
| [02:34.390] |
but still in the road, the traffic is silent |
| [02:38.120] |
the people they stare, and then they turn violent |
| [02:41.550] |
if they should touch, the hem of your dress |
| [02:44.980] |
I would rise like a lion, strike out again |
| [02:48.800] |
the faithful they wait, the faithful they wait |
| [02:52.130] |
by the sign |
| [02:54.890] |
|
| [02:55.650] |
|
| [02:55.780] |
near the town where we were living |
| [02:59.150] |
came a loud and joyous sound |
| [03:02.940] |
as the earth and all her beauty |
| [03:06.530] |
picked us up from off the ground |
| [03:10.220] |
carried far across the mountain |
| [03:13.840] |
to a kingdom never bound |
| [03:17.710] |
we will live like this forever |
| [03:21.360] |
I will love you |
| [03:23.020] |
I will love you |
| [03:24.880] |
I will love you |
