The Sound of Forever

(In Memory of 'The Ballad of Birmingham' and explosions in Maine a few years back)


Boom Boom
Mama look at this leaf
It's black, all black

Put it back on the ground
Put it back

See it crumble Mama
See it break

Was it a mistake
To pick it up?
It was a mistake
To come here

Boom Boom
Mama what's going to happen
Over there? Over here?

Have no fear, we're fine here
(I hope)
They'll be fine there
(But not)

See the ash Mama, see the ash
How it turns the water black
See the dog and the cat
How they cower in the grass

I'll hold you close little dear
Close your eyes, have no fear
And if your face starts to glow
Take my hand as we go
