widows peak Lyrics

You will wait in the widows peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the back streets

Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning heat

And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home

We're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know

And you will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all
If seas are dangerous

But you should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarm

We're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know

They've tethered the ships in the harbor
They've anchored the rest at sea

We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know

Stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know

That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know

Dashboard Confessional - The Shade of Poison Trees

Oct 2007

1. where there's gold..
2. thick as thieves
3. keep watch for the mines
4. these bones
5. fever dreams
6. the shade of poison trees
7. the rush
8. little bombs
9. I light my own fires now
10. matters of blood and connection
11. clean breaks
12. widows peak
