lyrics

Our fortunes hang like fruit
The running of the bulls
The breaking of bad news
Leaves a lasting residue
Tendrils reaching out
The teeth left in my mouth
Light breaks on the town
Streets as soft as eiderdown

And the rain makes them shine
And the rain makes them shine

Oxen two-by-two
Valleys full of feverfew
Eleven bronze statues
Every throat an open wound

And the rain makes them shine
And the rain makes them shine
But you knew them in drought
You knew them even in the drought

Thunder, you're too slow
Lightning's gone you know
To the doors of the cathedral

And the rain makes them shine
And the rain makes them shine
But you knew them in drought
You knew them even in the drought

Tendrils reaching out
The teeth left in my mouth
Light breaks on the town
Streets as soft as eiderdown
