The Doppler Effect

Lyrics

Hey now. Dry your tears and wipe away the pain now. Heavens for the uniformed.

Where now? Do we stand amidst the sun and tree tops?

Did you gasp my name whilst taking your last breath?

Does it hurt underground?

​

Hey whatcha fetching?, sticks made of fools gold 

Are squirrels-a crawlin? 

Does dirt chill tender bones?

Next door she’s screamin

Held close to your fur coat 

If you’re a goner, where am I to go?

​

Hey now, scratch the back of your neck with a cig now

I haven’t slept since black robe was out of

harm's way, harm’s way

​

So long old friend, sleep well in your hole. Till we meet again in the flowing streets of gold. Is it warm up there the way you liked it, by the window on my brother's bed? Can you even hear me through a convoluted sky? Can you see me in my darkest hour? So long old friend, till we meet again.
