Band The Tombstone Lyrics

Tombstone Lyrics

Its impatience thats holding back the clocks

 Its a life of dates and documents

 The soul searchers wheel and deal

 If youre looking for repentance

 Theyll hand you down a sentence

 

 Far away in pittsburg or paris

 Loves for sale and so reasonably priced

 The answers are few and far between

 It just bed sheets, my friend

 Theyre blowin?in the wind

 

 Chorus

 Tombstone, tombstone i know your face

 One day ill meet you down at that special place

 The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

 And i cant tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

 Tombstone, tombstone

 Tombstone, tombstone

 

 Theres a pump organ that lives on air

 I can hear it from the market place

 Pallid mourners in the crowd

 Some are withered but alive

 Where a burnin?past can find

 

 The parishioners pour into the square

 Thinking there before his grace go i

 By they are mum with deafened ears

 The neediest of sinners

 Will forget it before dinner

 

 Chorus

 Tombstone, tombstone

 I know your face

 One day ill meet you down at that special place

 The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

 And i cant tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

 Tombstone, tombstone

 Tombstone, tombstone

 

 Are you the jailer or will you set me free

 How many misdemeanors can one felony

 Tombstone

 

 Chorus

 Tombstone, tombstone

 I know your face

 One day ill meet you down at that special place

 The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

 And i cant tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

 Tombstone, tombstone

 Tombstone, tombstone

 Tombstone, tombstone
