Lyrics
Stood feeling rawest in late June
Twisted down a cobbled street in low sun
The young crash-bust in car shadows under my wing
Flinched like vultures when I passed
Weighed in a country town with treated stool
Over depths under high streets attitude
As you're in an overreached
Over and over and overstreached child
Lonely, my desperately happy
To bleed and make up for all I lack
In streets of fatten tights from the fifties
Evil compared me to a sun
With a peace I could've returned
The trick of the night
The trick of the night
Shining shadows that highlight
Death from waste
The trick of the night
The trick of the night
Shining shadows that highlight
Death from waste
Young working in men who had their hands full
Oh, waiting to leave
If they had time on their hands
They extended a wrinkle like lashes
Piled with red light on the days
Of rambling in the tangle
Down the street I go 'round awaiting
Wound and gone
Around my feet like leaves off the trees
Spotted as the wave
No more the want to
Autumnal lands
To autumnal lands
The trick of the night
The trick of the night
Shining shadows that highlight
Death from waste
The trick of the night
The trick of the night
Shining shadows that highlight
Death from waste
Though I needed help
It seemed a lot too late
Oh, what of what's since been
I have time to wait
Oh, though I needed help
It seemed a lot too late
Oh, what of what's since been
I have time to wait
Oh
