Fountains of Wayne - Cemetery Guns lyrics
[Fountains of Wayne - Cemetery Guns lyrics]
Is creeping up the Empire Hill
There's shadows on the overpass
And puddles in the old dirt path
Peoria lay silent, still
In the belly of the overgrown
All quiet on the open plain
Footprints to the family plot
Where evermore will restless sorrow sleep
In a broken heap
Cemetery guns go bang bang bang
Shooting all the sky full of holes
Twenty-one times in row
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
On the green grass down below
Elizabeth, our fathers came
And settled where the ground was flat
Drew water from the Indian wells
Cut timber from the rolling fells
Grandaddy-o bled hearth and home
For oiling the company gears
No rest for the errant ones
Godspeed their reckless sons
Who evermore play their forefathers' hands
On the foreign sands
Cemetery guns go bang bang bang
Shooting all the sky full of holes
Twenty-one times in row
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
On the green grass down below
Cemetery guns go bang bang bang
Shooting all the sky full of holes
Twenty-one times in row
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
On the green grass down below
