Gilbert Lyrics by Crown Compass

The Drought

2022

Thick smoke in the air at Sherman contractors
Construction business, fairly unknown
Quarter to seven on a hot summer day
The workplace reeks of yesterday
Gilbert, Proverbial figure, voluntary deeply involved
His chair is empty! While the nerve-racking congregation about to take place

The buzzer pressed down:
“We need some coffee here Dianne!”
The door then opens
A letdown to the sight of an office clerk

A tiny shirt pocket, an half eatеn pencil
Boiling forum, office knavery
Shеrman senior shakes his head
Points his finger at the empty chair

On the long and winding road
Between the heart and the mind
By a tree I've found a door
That shows the Gilbert isn't coming anymore!

Doorbell cuts through the brawling in the workplace
Dianne standing courageous by the door
A signed letter in between her fingers, Sherman senior is requesting: “won't you read it out loud”

“Proposing to start anew
Scrap the old conception for good
Requirement for my return”

“Gilbert dropped a brick!” the boss said

On the long and winding road
Between the heart and the mind
As I walk towards the pier hanging to a thought
Before the drops become a rainstorm
I'll unlock this gate, Gilbert won’t be coming today
It seems that I’m here to stay!

On the long and winding road between the heart and the mind, I look over the horizon, a distant flash of light
Until the truth comes out I'll hide here, but you won't understand, Gilbert won't becoming again
This time it's good 'cause I am here to stay!

In conclusion: a brief downfall!
The senior chief spoke in the staffroom:
“Yesterday we've lost a hero”

Until the smoke clears, storm pass, ice break
I'll hide here!
