Me and you on Gallows Hill
1980, 1 or 2
Hurry up now, tie your shoes
We're gonna be late for school
Passing through the gravestones as we're drawing near
I do not know anyone who's buried here
In the basement singing songs
Hughie, turn the PA on
Judy let us rock that room
Out of time and out of tune
Walk the streets of Lunenburg, recall the time
I'm countin' all the crows upon the power line
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
I don't know where to go and I don't know where to run
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
In '87 I moved away
So long, boys, I'll be back someday
I'll visit every now and then
It's the beginning of the end
Judy'd come to see us when we play in town
Family and friends are so important now
September shakin' sadness sings
Now look at what October brings
Answerin' the phones that ring
People speak unspeakable things
Tryin' to think of something I can say to them
Comin' up with nothin' again, again, again
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
I don't know where to go and I don't know where to run
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
Me and you on Gallows Hill
So much anger left to kill
You're driftin' out, you're driftin' in
Where to end, where to begin?
Passin' through the gravestones as we're drawin' near
Somebody we know and love is buried here
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
It's beyond, beyond, beyond
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
Of any place I know this is the darkest one
Anger flows like rivers deep
But in my heart I swear I'll keep
Beauty, love and people close
'Cause that is what we need the most
The green grass on the hillside grows so high and true
They'd need a million crows to kill a sky this blue
