lyrics

Mama let it fall and again let it fall
Mama let it fall and again let it fall to me
Or so the story goes

Papa hit the wall so again to the wall
Papa hit the wall so again to the wall on his knees
Or so the story goes

They took to their feet and I believe I saw them leave
saying “Tell me boy now how’s it going to be?”
They stood on a cliff and I believe I saw them kiss
Before the wave came up and swallowed them to sea

Brother keeping all but not to be more
Brother keeping all but not to be more than the show
or so the story goes

Sister breathing deep, no she’s not going to leave
Sister breathing deep, no she’s not going to leave for the boats
Or so the story goes

They hold to the land sing hymns and wringing hands
Singing “tell me God now how we supposed to go?”
You told me your plans shattered limbs and neighbor band
Giving hell to all been running from the hope.
