The Silk Road Lyrics by Tigers on Trains

0

[Verse 1]
So we were married on the Silk Road
A thousand giants throwing rocks
And just as I pulled back your white veil
You were struck
[Verse 2]
We had your funeral in the ocean
Off the coast of Mozambique
That's where you said you always wanted to live
So I said
"Lay her here so she can always hear the trees calling her name"
And they'll wrap their roots so gently all around her frozen frame
[Verse 3]
So I carved you into marble
Placed you high up in the freeze
So old Herodotus would write entirе books
About your glory
[Verse 4]
I gave your necklace to a poor boy
Hе didn't thank me he just left
And I heard your ghost playing the organ again
And I said
"Play that song that echoed through the church when you were born"
But then the music stopped and I never heard another sound from you
[Verse 5]
So I was walking on the Silk Road
Heading home for the last time
And you were sitting waiting for me on the side
Beneath a tree
I just kept walking
I didn't see
