The Crown Lyrics by Modern Vampires

Midnight Pine

2018

For thirteen years Jeffery Dunn
Held it together for his son
On a quiet nights he cooks and cleans
And settles down to watch the big fight
And in the third the phone rings
Jenny McGann was in town
Said she was staying at the Crown
Dunn looked at the sleet slide down the windows
Says tomorrow night I’ll be there from six
Hears her crying down the wire
Thinks God damn Jenny no good liar
As the morning pale light
Came creeping through the home
He wakes his sleeping son
Drinks half his coffee and off they go
At work he sells insurance plans
To newly wedded couples
He looks up as they smile
Thinks trouble finds us in the end
He says young lovers have their struggles
But you can’t dig a hole if you can’t buy a shovel
Looking back in to the night
See’s a little snow coming down
Dogs chasing their shadows in the town
Jeffery walks into the Crown
All walks of men drink side by side
Jenny McGann calls his name
He looks into her eyes
Blue eye’d rivers flow
Back in time
Says honey don’t look at me with those eyes
Why you gonna come around here this time
Say’s the last was the last time you broke the boys heart
Its not the first time darling you’ve wanted a new start
Jenny McGann and Jeffery Dunn
Walk through the front door of their home
In the kitchen he takes a chair
She checks their sleeping son
Dunn watches the snow black out the windows
Thinks trouble finds us in the end
