This Old Dark Machine-James Vincent McMorrow

[00:00.825]Spring it came upon us [00:03.545]Every insect filled the air [00:07.294]Dropped their wings upon my brother [00:10.938]Cast their shadows on his hair [00:14.684]If we follow where they're leading [00:18.190]We will surely come before [00:21.799]Some unseen and wondrous magic [00:25.518]Made of visions to explore [00:29.421]Near the town where we were living [00:32.877]Was an old abandoned farm [00:36.621]Every year we'd plant an orchid [00:40.317]In the shelter of it's arm [00:43.933]To protect us from the madness [00:47.590]Of the future still to come [00:51.156]It will be like this forever [00:54.806]I will keep you safe from harm [01:13.429]Then they caught us in the summer [01:17.01]Dressed in fathers finest clothes [01:20.396]You the hat he wore to market [01:23.977]I the jacket filled with holes [01:27.933]I've been searchins all these hours [01:31.505]For a hand as pale as bone [01:35.258]That would keep the strongest sunlight [01:38.825]And reflect the brightest stone [01:42.611]Near the town where we were living [01:46.180]Was a warm and fragrant smell [01:49.777]Of the orchid we had planted [01:53.430]Now a forest tall and well [01:57.68]What a statue to our greatness [02:00.806]What a story all will tell [02:04.424]They'll remember us forever [02:08.36]They'll remember where we fell [02:27.90]This old dark machine it shakes and it shudders [02:30.892]Pulls to the left then dies near the gutter [02:34.308]But still in the road the traffic is silent [02:38.126]The people they stare and then they turn violent [02:41.844]If they should touch the hem of your dress [02:45.16]I would rise like a lion strike out again [02:48.893]The faithful they wait the faithful they wait [02:52.374]By the sign [02:56.00]Near the town where we were living [02:59.501]Came a loud and joyous sound [03:03.59]As the earth and all her beauty [03:06.872]Picked us up from off the ground [03:10.575]Carried far across the mountain [03:14.83]To a kingdom never bound [03:17.619]We will live like this forever [03:21.403]I will love you [03:23.279]I will love you [03:25.111]I will love you
