Tombstone

Band · Other Songs - Band

Itæ?¯ impatience thatæ?¯ holding back the clocks

Itæ?¯ a life of dates and documents

The soul searchers wheel and deal

If youæ?®e looking for repentance

Theyæ?£l hand you down a sentence



Far away in Pittsburg or Paris

Loveæ?¯ for sale and so reasonably priced

The answers are few and far between

It just bed sheets, my friend

Theyæ?®e blowin?in the wind



Chorus

Tombstone, Tombstone I know your face

One day Iæ?£l meet you down at that special place

The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

And I canæ?° tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

Tombstone, Tombstone

Tombstone, Tombstone



Thereæ?¯ a pump organ that lives on air

I can hear it from the market place

Pallid mourners in the crowd

Some are withered but alive

Where a burnin?past can find



The parishioners pour into the square

Thinking there before his grace go I

By they are mum with deafened ears

The neediest of sinners

Will forget it before dinner



Chorus

Tombstone, Tombstone

I know your face

One day Iæ?£l meet you down at that special place

The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

And I canæ?° tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

Tombstone, Tombstone

Tombstone, Tombstone



Are you the jailer or will you set me free

How many misdemeanors can one felony

Tombstone



Chorus

Tombstone, Tombstone

I know your face

One day Iæ?£l meet you down at that special place

The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire

And I canæ?° tell a shooting star from a bird on fire

Tombstone, Tombstone

Tombstone, Tombstone

Tombstone, Tombstone
