B61

He had time on his hands He carried the world on his shoulders He said, "Meet me at the Hudson's edge Help me roll my boulder" Remember when I went down, running down Took the B61 across town To where he was waiting at the ice house Wish it was my house He took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on his sleeve Love is a daily good thing I see it in your smolder But I can't feel it in my hands And I'm wringing them more now I'm older Remember when I went down, running down Took the B61 across town To where you were waiting at the ice house Wish it was my house You took me out back for a drink Showed me the heart on your sleeve Like ships in the night We go down without light We burn up all our anthracite And try to make a spark Find a crack and let it in It'll come, it might be dim Adjust your eyes, I know you can You'll find me in the dark How will I know if I'm the last one alive? I'm the last one For forty-one days and as many nights I'll be standing where we stood Under an indigo sky Watching flames jump from firewood
