Port Of Morrow letra

Through the rain
and all the clatter
under the Freemont bridge
I saw a pigeon fly
fly in fear
from a raptor
come to take its life

Does it closed
and for the captured
I funnel the fear through my ancient eyes
See in flight
where I know all the bitter mechanics of life

Under my hat
it breathes
the lines are all imagined
A fact of life
I know
to hide from my little girls
I know my place amongst
the bugs and all the animals
And it’s from these ordinary people
you were longing to be free

In my hotel
and on the TV
a pitcher on the stage
like a buzzard cries
out a warning
a phony sorrow
He’s trying to get a rise

Sign of life
of an almot
Let him look at your hands
get the angles right
Ace of spades
Port of Morrow
life is death
is life

I saw a photograph
of Cologne in ’27
and then a postcard after the bombs in ’45
Must have been a world of evil clowns
that let it happen
But now I recognize
dear
in these eyes
that you were there
and so was I

Under my hat, I know
the lines are allimagined
A fact of life
I must impress my little girls
I know my place amongst
the creatures
in the pageant
And there are flowers
in the garbage
and a skull
under your curls
