One More Charge At The Red Cape

from A Forest Of Arms by Great Lake Swimmers

/

lyrics

The failing word, the parting smile
Saying it will all be worthwhile
Saying it’s steady, and shaking hands
And that we know that the end is coming

And click, click through, the windows and doors
I love you through the ceiling, I love you through the floors
It’s a minute, just a minute
Hey, I love you, hey, I love you

If you’re sitting still, then I’m still screaming
You can turn it off, but don’t stop dreaming
As the horns drop down, for one more charge
At the red cape

A hand-made sign on the battleground
It’s all lit up, and it’s burning down
And while we’re caught in the screen door
Caught in one minute, and gone in another

If you’re sitting still then I’m still screaming
You can turn it off but don’t stop dreaming

If you’re sitting still then I’m still screaming
You can shut it down but don’t stop dreaming

If you’re sitting still then I’m still screaming
You can turn it off but don’t stop dreaming
