lyrics

the gargoyle
(c. clay)

i’m on my knees for what you care about
hoping it exists in what you find across the city you’re punching in at a factory
and moving in a line towards those jewelry bits moving in a line

i’ll watch over, get there on time, i’ll watch over
the turning tide left you smiling and breathless
opening and closing worlds of men and you knew you had to run and turn your family to ghosts
before the tide would turn again now you’re gone - they pretend they don’t know why and they set aside your coffee cup as if they miss you now he’s running with the one
who’ll burn your pretty world down now he’s running with the pick-lock boys
with the alley-groping nightbirds now he’s running with the pick-lock boys
with the wenches and the wayward if you should find that a clean cut leaves no wound –
let your heart do its talk with your mind like so many, your new friend says “don’t forget where you came from” and doesn’t give a reason why no they never give a reason why
