Tegan Lyrics by Sing-Sing

The Joy Of Sing-Sing

0

The magic years of sun and cheer
Are in this box under key and lock
These messages on Hallmark cards
Are shards of glass on discovery


Airplane tickets and long lost letters
A legacy of love and petty vendettas
Broken glasses see through the years
My history in my souvenirs


And trinkets read like Braille
Say God is in the detail
When ornaments are monuments to me


I still remember the smell of grass
Before last classes in July
The heat was on, the days were long
And I knew I was satisfied


Only I will understand
The legacy of a man
From worlds away, his love is sent
I keep it here in my ornaments


And trinkets read like Braille
Say God is in the detail
When ornaments are monuments to me
The walls are full of sound
When memories abound
When ornaments are monuments to me


And no one warned me, it wouldn’t last
Why didn’t anybody tell me, it all moves so fast?


The guns are drawn inside their heads
Ten paces back already dead
The home is torn, my mother warns
And I feel a war coming on


Crossed continents, we crossed the sea
Crossed some roads, only to be
Right back where we started
Dislocated but no smarter


And trinkets read like Braille
Say God is in the detail
When ornaments are monuments to me
The walls are full of sound
When memories abound
When ornaments are monuments to me
Ooh, ooh
