Me and you on Gallows Hill   1980, 1 or 2   Hurry up and tie your shoe   We’re gonna be late for school   Passing through the gravestones as we’re drawing near   I do not know anyone who’s buried here      In the basement singing songs   “Hughie, turn the PA on”   Judy let us rock that room   Out of time and out of tune   Walk the streets of Lunenburg, recall the time   I’m counting all the crows upon the power line      It’s beyond, beyond, beyond   I don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to run   It’s beyond, beyond, beyond   Of any place I know, this is the darkest one      In ‘87 I moved away   So long, boys, I’ll be back someday   I’ll visit every now and then   “It’s the Beginning of the End”   Judy’d come to see us when we played in town   Family and friends are so important now      September shaking sadness sings   Now look at what October brings   Answering the phones that ring   People speak unspeakable things   Trying to think of something I can say to them   Coming up with nothing   Again, again, again      Me and you on Gallows Hill   So much anger left to kill   You’re drifting out and drifting in   Where to end, where to begin?   Passing through the gravestones as we’re drawing near   Somebody we know and love is buried here      Anger flows like rivers deep   But in my heart I swear I’ll keep   Beauty, love and people close   Because that is what we need the most   The green grass on the hillside grows so high and true   They’d need a million crows to kill a sky this blue
