Thea Gilmore - Karr's Lament lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Karr's Lament lyrics]
There are ghosts in the street
And the window is open
There's the sound of a catfight in the rain
And the smell of the earth
Where the storm is broken
And the howl of a southbound train
And the water's sewing sequins on the glass
I'm not here to answer so don't even ask
'Cause the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
Will you take me out
Oh, to where the sky is full
Of music from the traffic of the town
I've got a head for drinking
And I've got money in my pocket
And I wanna try and turn this night around
And the poundstore Romeos all want a fight
And their breath is thick
With Jagerbombs and appetite
But the road rolls on yeah the road rolls on
So I'll turn off the radio
And I'll turn out the light
Let the darkness wrap it's
Arms around my waist
There's a full moon out there somewhere
And it's sailing on the ocean
Lighting up another stranger's face
And somewhere there's a song I haven't heard
And somewhere there are crosshairs
On a mockingbird
But the road rolls on yeah the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
And the window is open
There's the sound of a catfight in the rain
And the smell of the earth
Where the storm is broken
And the howl of a southbound train
And the water's sewing sequins on the glass
I'm not here to answer so don't even ask
'Cause the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
Will you take me out
Oh, to where the sky is full
Of music from the traffic of the town
I've got a head for drinking
And I've got money in my pocket
And I wanna try and turn this night around
And the poundstore Romeos all want a fight
And their breath is thick
With Jagerbombs and appetite
But the road rolls on yeah the road rolls on
So I'll turn off the radio
And I'll turn out the light
Let the darkness wrap it's
Arms around my waist
There's a full moon out there somewhere
And it's sailing on the ocean
Lighting up another stranger's face
And somewhere there's a song I haven't heard
And somewhere there are crosshairs
On a mockingbird
But the road rolls on yeah the road rolls on
Yeah the road rolls on
