lyrics

Six o’clock is blue and pink on the snow
As it was for the queen of Queens
Under dark lights they ask me to go
So I train pigeons in my dreams

Well the tailor is handsome and the soldier is fine
But one must fix the other’s seams
So I look farther with my blue eye
Past the shallow future and closed museums

CHORUS:
To thine own self be true
To your neighbor divine
Time will come looking for you
And you may as well lay your heart on the line
For the day your debt to love comes due

It rises in the east so the west can have its wine
And keep it hid from the land between the two
I swear I’d die of thirst before I make it mine
But a need does a thing that the word can never do

CHORUS

The picture on the mantel is for the Valentine
Who won herself with the loss of you
You kept her on the mountain that grows by and by
‘Til she finally grew up and out of view

CHORUS
