21 Gun Salute Lyrics by Half Moon Run

Dark Eyes

2012

21 gun salute
I guess I saw it in my tv show
With the look of the sun on the city-scape
I caught the subway home with a belly-ache
When you look in the face of my friends
When I try to talk with a cloudy head
I keep fucking it up, and it's tough
Maybe it's just that I'm out of luck
It all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods
Only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood
All the secrets you've kept till now, you'll keep till the grave
21 gun salute
I had to put the body to rest
I guess I saw it in my fevered sleep
With a cough to wake up in the morning breeze
It all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods
Only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood
All the secrets you've kept till now you'll keep till the grave
All slow to face when I'm wrong enough
Long shall we wait for another one
It all goes downhill after the rains, after the floods
Only mountains retain the shape, retain the blood
And all these secrets
Gone
