Down Come the Goalposts

from The Crowd' Train Takes the Form by Jersey Water

lyrics

I play that old piano with the damper pedal busted
That gestured to me not to worry so
But I can’t remember pieces I knew before
It’s all right

They sold my piano
They took it away yesterday
And left me with this space in the living room
I’ve never seen something so beautiful be so gone

Tea and sympathy
Can I rest my troubles here?
Shiny, all shiny
Don’t tie your fortunes to the power structure tonight
Under stadium lights shining through my window
Thy kingdom un-comfort
Wild are bees in the summer

"Dawn, I love you" was written on the overpass
Before she washed away all onto the cars
Speeding down 35 I still know who you are
It’s all right

Later that morning I filled up the living room
With a wild love and all my leviathans
Have you ever known someone so beautiful could be so wrong?

Now coke and sympathy
We all rest our troubles here
On the jetties that are overflowing
Where every line comes with its own avalanche

I miss you already
Your Caroline’s my Miss Roma-Scott
I’d scale these city walls if there were city walls
I’d jump this curb and I’d be shiny, all shiny
But there was shit in the gutter of our honeymoon
Why did we bother?
Cause wild are bees in the summer
