lyrics

The All Night Boys

Valley stretched out like the ancient spine
Of a King James Bible stained with Sunday wine
And the stars exhale over Granada
A darker, an older sonata

Water kneeling, rising, chanting on rocks
Under the blown up bridge with all the rusted locks
Your heart started hard as the temple columns
But that didn’t keep the kingdom from falling

And the all night boys with their melodies
Hanging to the walls of the narrow streets

Blood orange boughs bow in weighted silence
As the air is thickened with a cavalry of violence
And the bride with a kerchief in her hands
The groom’s razor blade in the river sand

She dreams of gypsies tying, taking Jacob
To a sea of reeds just before she wakes up
And the stars exhale over Granada
A darker, an older sonata

And the all night boys with their melodies
Hanging to the walls of the narrow streets
