about

This is a Grateful Dead cover some friends and I recorded some time ago. I stumbled across this track doing some data sorting and it was a lot better than I remember it being.

lyrics

A pistol shot at 5 o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
Tell me what you done it for
No I won't tell you a thing.

Yesterday I begged you
before I hit the ground -
all I leave behind me
is only what I found.

If you can abide it
let the hurdy-gurdy play -
Stranger ones have come by here
before they flew away.

I will not condemn you
nor yet would I deny
I would ask the same of you
but failing will not die.

Take up your china doll
it's only fractured -
and just a little nervous
from the fall.
