about

(C. Beam, D. Prendergast)

lyrics

Out on the lawn
Where the devil rains
The only rain that falls
And all along
The yellow chains are keeping out the laws

That you don’t follow
So you grow hollow
Don’t you wallow
Then you won’t grow into the big oak tree

In the place you should be for a thousand years
Giving shade that hides the rivers of tears
That fall from the soldiers onto their shoulders
Everybody’s got a bulleted heart
In a wall of stone the tallest home
But you’re taller still by far

And your leaves may land in the peaceful hand
Pray the breeze may grant your limbs
Some sweet reprieve
You’ve been kind to me

Out on the lawn
Where the devil rains the only rain that falls
And all along
The yellow chains are keeping out the laws
When the night falls down on this
Northern town
I will
Run to you to find me
