john thomason - carillon lyrics

Loading...

slippin’ thru the sun rays on a beaten down pathway
a crack in time so distant and so out of place
a decoy soul, implanted and unwhole
in my mind, in my own face

buoyed on the crest of your false-hearted love
a smile collapsin’ without refrain
suture your sibilant turquoise tattoo to me in the morning again

write all your poems in a tupelo hotel room
and mail them to my mother’s address
tell her i’m comin’ home to break my lonesome bones
and to rock away all my eager distress

i’ve had too many hoodwinks and too little hijinx
i’ve been twisted into a cosmic cartoon
i’ve been drug out and busted and my stamina’s maladjusted
when i search for you by the light of that hallowed harvest moon

oh, and i don’t ever want to feel that way again
runnin’ down the road in a summer squall
flaggin’ down a midnight rider and a fair weather friend
to lay in the ashes of your cathedral

the gospel choir gathers beside broken ladders
the ones you used to visit me
you whispered like an ocean about how you were broken
those lies were the lullabies of your dreams

no flowers to give or memories to relive
the veil’s been ripped and torn
every mirror is dim and the moonlight’s grown too slim
my love for you has been shorn

i’ve had too many hoodwinks and too little hijinx
i’ve been twisted into a cosmic cartoon
i’ve been drug out and busted and my stamina’s maladjusted
when i search for you by the light of that hallowed harvest moon

oh, and i don’t ever want to feel that way again
runnin’ down the road in a summer squall
flaggin’ down a midnight rider and a fair weather friend
to lay in the ashes of your cathedral

pickin’ thru the rusted relics of your company
and chompin’ at every instance of your offerin’
and braggin’ ’bout the exclusive commodity
of listenin’ to all your bells ring

listen’ too ’em ring
hearin’ ’em ring out
