B61

He had time on his hands

He carried the world on his shoulders

He said, "Meet me at the Hudson's edge

Help me roll my boulder"

Remember when I went down, running down

I took the B61 across town

To where he was waiting at the ice house

Wish it was my house

Took me out back for a drink

Showed me the heart on his sleeve

Love is a daily good thing

I see it in your smolder

But I can't feel it in my hands

And I'm wringing them more now I'm older

Remember when I went down, running down

Took the B61 across town

To where you were waiting at the ice house

Wish it was my house

Took me out back for a drink

Showed me the heart on your sleeve

Like ships in the night

We go down without light

And we burn up all our anthracite

And try to make a spark

I find a crack and let it in

It'll come, it might be dim

Adjust your eyes, I know you can

You'll find me in the dark

How will I know if I'm the last one alive?

I'm the last one alive

For forty-one days and as many nights

I'll be standing where we stood

Under an indigo sky

Watching flames jump from firewood
