[00:01.12] Calexico-The News About William
[00:14.53] 4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
[00:19.65] Dogs on the porch,
[00:21.15]
[00:21.77] Spiders on the leaf
[00:23.70]
[00:24.64] Shipwrecked by night sailing through days
[00:28.70]
[00:29.95] Nobody noticed the slipping away
[00:34.19]
[00:43.18] Connecting the dots
[00:44.80]
[00:45.48] with thorns in his side
[00:47.42]
[00:48.23] Boarded up the Windows
[00:50.79] with pain and with pride
[00:52.78]
[00:53.66] The music box broken that
[00:56.40] once was his soul
[00:58.21]
[00:59.09] Its sad little song spinning out of control
[01:03.52]
[01:09.13] Then came the storm that washed the roads out
[01:28.16] Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
[01:32.22]
[01:33.53] Second line drums marched into the sea
[01:38.40] While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny"
[01:42.95]
[01:44.26] They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
[01:48.57]
[01:49.63] As her words fail and the sky grew dim
[01:54.19]
[01:54.75] Recalled how close to that exit I've been
[01:59.05]
[02:10.47] Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
[02:18.46]
[02:20.83] The news about William
[02:23.14]
[02:23.89] The lifeline retreats
[02:25.45]
[02:26.32] Desire for release
[02:28.07]
[02:29.25] The thorns in his side
