Come on, force it down I’m imagining Come on, force it down I’m imagining Imaging a place where homes are built on frames And where they plant new bulbs along our graves
Each year With the fall each year With the fall each year
And if you think you might Yes, but if it’s not so bright But if you’re a part of my whole life
Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if he’s a boozed-up man He won’t know if you’re white, Oh, in the night
Coverin' a fault with trials and court displays Coverin' a fault with trials and court displays If it is worth the time to find the Holy Coup about recalling all the ways and the reasons I fall
Each year With the fall each year With the fall each year
And if you think you might Yes, but if it’s not so bright But if you’re a part of my whole life
Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if he’s a boozed-up man He won’t know if you’re white, Oh, in the night
Paper lamps in the parking light You can’t see when it’s much too dark All that mist in your eyes Oh, in the night
And maybe is it in enough time Or fifty more is more enough, oh To right the wrongs what you’re hiding in your backyard Is standing in there since apathy And accusations that another man Cause you don’t have a plan To put your life into a Christian’s hands Never mind what your daughter is taught in school What she remembers is what she has learned from you
Silhouettes in a window frame Better run if he’s a boozed-up man He won’t know if you’re white, Oh, in the night
Paper lamps in the parking light You can’t see when it’s much too dark All that mist in your eyes Oh, in the night
