Mahogany Veneer Lyrics by Twilight Hotel

When The Wolves Go Blind

0

I met you in the forest where the borealis shined
And every fish in that old lake could tell that you were mine
We sang there to each other
And the falls they lent an ear
My old life fell away like mahogany veneer
When we got to New York City
All our dreams were waiting there
Pennies in our pockets
Sunshine in our hair
We stood out on the ferry
The wind was at our cheek
We scanned our new horizons and the vastness made us weep
And we fell in love with Memphis
With its muddy bleeding heart
Down on Union Street they’re taking rock n roll apart
The sunset on the delta
The whistle of the train
And all the boarded buildings made me long for Winnipeg
And when we got to New Orleans we found a city on its knees
Homes hung with shadows
And streets lined with weeds
We went down to the old quarter and not a sole was there
The mighty Mississippi silent as a prayer
Driving across Saskatchewan the road straight as a knife
We learned that Terry Burg had taken his own life
Did his hand betray his conscience
Was he lost or was he found
We hauled 16 hours back just to put him in the ground
On the night that we left Nashville
Johnny’s house was burning down
Crossed into Kentucky in the dark without a sound
Radio static
The moon was out of sight
I watched you sleep beside me
Turned off the dashboard light
