Me and you on Gallows Hill 1980, 1 or 2 Hurry up now, tie your shoes We're gonna be late for school Pa**ing through the gravestones as we're drawing near I do not know anyone who's buried here In the basement singing songs Hughie, turn the PA on Judy let us rock that room Out of time and out of tune Walk the streets of Lunenburg, recall the time I'm countin' all the crows upon the power line It's beyond, beyond, beyond I don't know where to go and I don't know where to run It's beyond, beyond, beyond Of any place I know this is the darkest one Of any place I know this is the darkest one In '87 I moved away So long, boys, I'll be back someday I'll visit every now and then It's the beginning of the end Judy'd come to see us when we play in town Family and friends are so important now September shakin' sadness sings Now look at what October brings Answerin' the phones that ring People speak unspeakable things
Tryin' to think of something I can say to them Comin' up with nothin' again, again, again It's beyond, beyond, beyond I don't know where to go and I don't know where to run It's beyond, beyond, beyond Of any place I know this is the darkest one Of any place I know this is the darkest one Me and you on Gallows Hill So much anger left to k** You're driftin' out, you're driftin' in Where to end, where to begin? Pa**in' through the gravestones as we're drawin' near Somebody we know and love is buried here It's beyond, beyond, beyond It's beyond, beyond, beyond Of any place I know this is the darkest one Of any place I know this is the darkest one Anger flows like rivers deep But in my heart I swear I'll keep Beauty, love and people close 'Cause that is what we need the most The green gra** on the hillside grows so high and true They'd need a million crows to k** a sky this blue
