Shards of stained glass windows
in a crimson red and black
seven thousand stand and wonder
after the water's gone and back
What of the miles not travelled
and what of that sour wind
seven miles to the graveyard
and they won't let me in
And supper's on the table
a warmed cartoon shaped rat
seven stories told of better times
when no-one could eat that
What of the miles not travelled
and what of that sour wind
seven miles to the graveyard
and they won't let me in
Come and set the table
for the house around's come down
seven sit and drink old whiskey
and search for familiar sounds
What of the miles not travelled
and what of that sour wind
seven hours til the break of dawn
yet another day begins
