Matt Glavin - Buildings of Steel lyrics

The road was falling apart The rooster was calling your name It sounded like sweet Marie Sounded like sweet misery As the carriage drew near to the hills The towns people started to shout The hearts of your soldiers gave in And the backs of your cattle gave out It gets hard to see through the trees It’s hard to see past the hills But it’s hard to see the trees and the hills When you’re surrounded by buildings of steel Summer months were rather dry Could Almost hear it in the wind This town was destined to losе The end was nearing in Whеre do you go in a town like this Where do you go The ground seemed to thaw rather quick As the smoke clouds filled up the sky And the town just seemed to sit still As the fire came to kiss it goodbye
