quiet hollers - mont blanc lyrics
i know i planted those seeds down too deep
they’ll die and never see the sun
my fault for that one
i was a city boy before
no excuses anymore
i’ll try to learn and to keep us fed
shed a tear for the books i should have read
and i’d seen all the warning signs
on the tv, in the times
but i had you to hold at night
and so it took me by surprise
we had so many things back then
i had a silver mont blanc pen
i’d write for hours about nothing
that makes any difference now
and i used to worry what clothes i had on
the school recitals and the manicured lawns
and i had a laundry-list of people
i could count on if it all went wrong
and then the bomb
now i take precautions for my peace of mind
i don’t know what difference it might make
to hang on any longer
but i cut the tree across the drive
spend the daylight hours inside
trying to make the place look empty
so as no-one comes around
i thought i saw them again last night
those same distant headlights
sweeping back and forth across
the empty sh-lls of the summer homes
and if the b-st-rds ever come
promise me you’ll take the kids and run
i may be weak and i may be frail
but i can throw them off your trail
and i used to worry what clothes i had on
the school recitals and the manicured lawns
and i had a laundry-list of people
i could count on if it all went wrong…
and then the bomb
shed a tear for the books i should have read
