lyrics

So goes the tale / the rumour
Old codes hold one like a father
And they say "what of the trail of paperwork and old souls"
White pebbles on the terracotta floor
Mild terror on the morning after
Seeing that a moment was enough
To transform all and oh! to father

But smile once on a baby
And old codes melt fast and completely
And sorrow finds other burrows
Wherefrom it metastasises in year-end shows
Slowly ebbs and slowly flows
In cavities where sorrow has never ebbed and never flowed
Goes and makes it home, wherein it sets out to root
And fester

So goes the lowdown, the wisdom
It's all bull, most of it is I know
A narrow sense of the weight, the purpose
I'll carry high and low

Oh! to father
