Lyrics

[00:25.40] In the failing light of the afternoon
[00:29.70]
[00:36.50] Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms
[00:41.81]
[00:47.67] Yesterday the solace of a poison fish
[00:52.60]
[00:58.72] Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips
[01:03.77]
[01:05.58] No one is the savior they would like to be
[01:14.47]
[01:21.52] The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree
[01:27.07]
[01:29.01] With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line
[01:38.68] And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time
[01:49.20]
[02:40.63] Springtime and the promise of an open fist
[02:46.19]
[02:47.38] A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist
[02:57.11]
[03:02.30] Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow
[03:08.49]
[03:11.67] With a map pocket to heaven and the sun goes down
