lyrics

A slap on the wrist
Adjusting his tie
Ending the fight
Full of whiskey and rye
Did he hit you there
You said in your letters there

Clenching a fist
And biding your time
Up every night
To hear your mother cry
I wish I was there

But it’s come an hour too late,
To hear those words as he lies in state
You’d swear they knew him well
In the circles of hell oh yeah, and there he’d wait
But what will you do
When I write to you

About a world in gasoline
Yeah I saw
And I wanted you to know

What if I was to say I know
When the trees or blossoms grow
And I said I meet you there
Under the hawthorn there by the fair,
I said I'd wait,
Until the guns of man,
Took every single plan
We had away

But it’s come an hour too late,
To hear those words as I lie in state
I feel the gust blow through my bones,
Know this grave I'll call my own

But I ask
What will you do
When I write to you

About a world in gasoline
Yeah I saw
And I wanted you to know
