Brooklyn Crucifixion
reverby electric guitars
I wrote this song about Chaim Potok's novel 'My Name Is Asher Lev'.
That night he comes to me
The mythic ancestor in a dream
With raging eyes, I am unclean
But my hands are free
I woke in soaking sheets
White walls surround me
So I threw paint at everything
Till they found me
Till they found me
There she is again
Staring out the window in the dark
On the tired streets of Brooklyn
There she is again
Between the father and the son
Tied up in crucifixion
How do you paint the rain in someone’s eyes?
Above the clouds that cry, the sky is blue
But I wonder, late at night were you always you?
It doesn’t matter anymore
I should be going
But I can’t close very door
When the water’s still flowing
When the water’s still flowing
There she is again
Staring out the window in the dark
On the tired streets of Brooklyn
There she is again
Between the father and the son
Tied up in crucifixion
How do you paint the rain in someone’s eyes?
Don’t you dare think that what you’ve seen doesn’t matter
Cause when you see it you’ll feel everything
There she is again
Staring out the window in the dark
On the tired streets of Brooklyn
There she is again
Between the father and the son
Tied up in crucifixion
How do you paint the rain in someone’s eyes?
