Winchester

Their covers

Coming off in Winchester tonight

And the pale stone grey King

walks with his pale stone grey wife

They'll see through the tombs

Until we come we turn on the light

When they sleep in death again

And yours was the hand that came off it through the blue

When I woke on a table, and mucusy and new

I said "yes, I would love go walking with you

Until I sleep in death again"

And the arm you stretched to me was thick around the wrist

There was blood on your breath

There was alcohol and piss

Out in the land where the people make their hopes

Not with their hand but with money that they own

You carry me down to the sand to let me know

All the things I did not know until then

And the arm you stretched to me was thick around the wrist

There was blood on your breath

There was alcohol and piss

But my heart was a diamond as big the Ritz

You crumbled and fold in my hand

Their covers coming off in Winchester tonight

And the cracks in the sky give an unfamiliar light

And the world you have shown me

Is dead beneath the ice

And I wish I could see you again.

And yours was the hand that came off it through the blue

When I woke on a table, and mucusy and new

I said "yes, I would love go walking with you

Until I sleep in death again"

And you do the all the things

That you think yoy have to do

Make a mark on the world so the world remembers you

And I will wait to go walking in two

Until I sleep in death again.
