The Ex-Patriots

Lyrics
She wears her dust Every place in this town Glory, Glory, Halleluia Greatness needs time and distance to move its hand We come here To seek moisture in the sand. And when evening comes we’ll all have a chance to enhance All the things we’ve said before And when evening comes we’ll all have a chance to enhance All the things we’ve said before When the glaze of twilight Makes words so rich They’re melting as they leave our lips We’ll drown our sorrows bit by bit And see where we get. We search for years, sifting this sullen soil Words and phrases scrawled here to show our toil I hold such greatness Right here in my hands But then these promises don’t last Let’s all crawl into a glass And say the things we’ve said before So when evening comes We’ll all have a chance to enhance all the things we’ve said before When the haze of twilight makes words so rich, they’re melting as they leave our lips. We’ll drown our sorrows bit by bit and see where we get.
