Heart of the Continent Songtext

Heart of The Continent -John K Samson Capo 4th Fret

The north wind sinks the fence around a lot full of debris G C
Near the corner of memorial and me G C

Were resurected brick and drywall lead back into place G C
Theres a terrified reflection on my face G C

All alone at the gleaming knife display at the army surplus sales E B C

As the dusk descends and my insipiration fails C B A
Ghost filled discount parkas, sleeping bags G A B D C B A C B A G E
Peer at me from the crumpled dark F# G


Inky bruises punched into the sky by bolts of light G C
And then leak across the body of tonight G C
While rain and thunder drop and roll then stop short of a storm G C
Leave the air stuck with this waiting to be born G C

As I stand before an unresponsicve automatic door E D B C
Just another door that wont open for me anymore C B A
The exit red gets brighter then blinks off G A B D C B A C B A G E
Presses me into the crumpled dark F# G

Theres a billoard by the highway that says welcome to bievennue E A C
But no sign to show you when you go away B C B A

And our demolitions punctuate G A B D C B A C B
All we mean to seave them leave to late G A B D C B A G E
So I make my shaky exclamation mark G A B D C B A C B A G E
With a hand full of F#
The crumpled dark G
