lyrics

Where were you when I was green,
my bonny little fella?
“Sleeping in a railway car
en route to Dulcinea.
Waiting for the walls to cave in.
Waiting for heaven to end.”

I was born before the hills,
before the arid playa,
when the iron was inside the rock,
before the heat transformed it.

Waiting for the walls to cave in.
Waiting for heaven to end.

Time compresses all the dust
that’s how you make a mountain
until the people mine it up
all in the name of progress.

Waiting for the walls to cave in.
Waiting for heaven to end.

I’ll be here when you are gone,
my bonny little fella,
when the rivers rise up to the clouds
filled with lightning and thunder.

Waiting for the walls to cave in.
Waiting for this heaven to end.
