tigers on trains – the silk road lyrics
[verse 1]
so we were married on the silk road
a thousand giants throwing rocks
and just as i pulled back your white veil
you were struck
[verse 2]
we had your funeral in the ocean
off the coast of mozambique
that’s where you said you always wanted to live
so i said
“lay her here so she can always hear the trees calling her name”
and they’ll wrap their roots so gently all around her frozen frame
[verse 3]
so i carved you into marble
placed you high up in the freeze
so old herodotus would write entirе books
about your glory
[verse 4]
i gave your necklace to a poor boy
hе didn’t thank me he just left
and i heard your ghost playing the organ again
and i said
“play that song that echoed through the church when you were born”
but then the music stopped and i never heard another sound from you
[verse 5]
so i was walking on the silk road
heading home for the last time
and you were sitting waiting for me on the side
beneath a tree
i just kept walking
i didn’t see
