As the wheels all turn, and the noon Sun burns | |
A story rolls off this tongue, it extols | |
the miles between, your son; your child | |
remember the days when he was young, wild, and alive | |
this evening brought his end; his time | |
no tears from grief, | |
just a Virgin for his shrine | |
a floral wreath | |
and the shame for his crime | |
remember the days when he was young, wild, and alive | |
across these wide oceans—smoke blacks out innocent days | |
so old misers can cash out in places they pray and prey | |
gently escape or let them live on in you | |
He sang this song to young olive eyes | |
and took her hand across the burning sands | |
from desert plains they moved, so young so wild and alive | |
they were raised to believe the sea would dry before they died | |
across these wide oceans, smoke blacks out innocent days | |
so old misers can cash out in places they pray and prey | |
gently escape and let them live on in you. |
As the wheels all turn, and the noon Sun burns | |
A story rolls off this tongue, it extols | |

remember the days when he was young, wild, and alive | |

no tears from grief, | |

and the shame for his crime | |
remember the days when he was young, wild, and alive | |
across these wide oceans smoke blacks out innocent days | |
