lyrics

one long fall
you came in through the gap in the garden wall
put your cigarette out in the hallway and set off the smoke alarm
you had some pretty thing on your arm

between these lines
the legends are true and the eyes of the city are blind
maybe you come down here sometimes the door is open
but i don't think we've spoken

now you're coming downstairs in your yellow coat at a quarter to ten
i can see the moonlight coming through your lily-white canvas curtains
put the king on and you and i can go downtown
seven miles from boston see the sacred jewel laid in the city's crown
and all the stars fall down on massachusetts

one great gift
buried in the yard you can find what's left of it
and in the curse written on your lips and what you seek when you're suffering
and what you speak when you're suffering

and now you're coming downstairs in your yellow coat at a quarter to ten
i can see the moonlight coming through your lily-white canvas curtains
put the king on and you and i can go downtown
seven miles from boston see the sacred jewel laid in the city's crown
all the stars lay down on massachusetts
