Each Year Songtext / Lyric

Come on, force it down

I'm imagining

Come on, force it down

I'm imagining



Imaging a place where homes are built on frames

And where they plant new bulbs along our graves

With the fall each year

With the fall each year

Each year



And if you think you might

Yes, but if it's not so bright

But if you're a part of my

Whole life



Silhouettes in a window frame

Better run if it's Boo's old man

He won't know if you're white,

Oh, in the night






Coverin' a fault with

Trials and coy displays

Coverin' a fault with

Trials and coy displays



If it isn't worth the time to

Find out how we go

About recalling all the ways

And the reasons are for

With the fall each year

With the fall each year

Each year



And if you think you might

Yes, but if it's not so bright

But if you're a part of my

Whole life



Silhouettes in a window frame

Better run if it's Boo's old man

He won't know if you're white,

Oh, in the night



Vapor lamps in a parking light

You can't see when it's much too far

All that mist in your eyes

Oh, in the night



80 years isn't enough time

50 more isn't more enough

Oh

To right the wrongs

What you're hiding in your back yard

Is turning innocence to apathy

And accusations at another man

Oh

'Cause you don't have a prayer

To put your life into a Christian's hands

Never mind what your

Daughter is taught in school

What she remembers is

What she has learned from you



Silhouettes in a window frame

Better run if it's Boo's old man

He won't know if you're white,

Oh, in the night



Vapor lamps in a parking lot

You can't see when it's much too far

All that mist in your eyes

Oh, in the night
