lyrics

when he knew who i was in his bootstrap fervor
he told me son, you’ll be your wife’s earner
now these old eyes can’t see much further
than the stubborn skies and the busy bee workers

i found this song on a subway car
the sky was blue and the ground was scarred
somber folks going on their way
a sea of hats and a gray flannel bay

one day i looked out on the water
and the sun, he stared back at me
and he asked me why i’d never fought it
truth is we’ve all been muted by these screens

i found this song on a subway car
the sky was blue and the ground was scarred
somber folks going on their way
a sea of hats and a gray flannel bay

shoes tap the floor
hearts beat in time
you’d think we’d get more
we bought our lives for a dime

i found this song on a subway car
the sky was blue and the ground was scarred
somber folks going on their way
a sea of hats and a gray flannel bay

i found this song on a subway car
the sky was blue and the ground was scarred
somber folks going on their way
a sea of hats and a gray flannel bay

and the tides rise at night
