Rand - Regal Brau
Five two, a room, air conditioning broken
Light stabbing through where the window shades open
Conjuring memories in whispers, we're waiting
Coffee in Styrofoam cups on the tables
Ooh, ooh
The preacher was doing his best to convert us
As we sing for him ❲?❳, some out of tune chorus
The old man was waving his hand to conduct us
A maestro in hospital gown and his opus
★ Chorus ★
Good grief, you're a bus drive
To the airport, to the night sky
And I don't speak for a long time
Good grief, you're a landslide
You're a landslide
★ Verse 2 ★
Watch through the window, kids play in their front yard
Mom doesn't rush when the one takеs a hard fall
Time trudges onward as grandpa breathеs ragged
Live outside moves like a twig, in a rapid
Posing his ❲?❳, the ancient time traveler
Mumbles ❲?❳
Holding his hands, I can feel his blood slowing
Lodged in my memory, forever this moment
★ Chorus ★
Good grief, you're a bus drive
To the airport, to the night sky
And I don't speak for a long time
Good grief, you're a landslide
Ooh, a landslide
★ Verse 3 ★
Sponge to your lips while the chaplain was singing
If you cared he was baptist, you sure didn't say it
Forget the water, the proverbial wine
Give him a Regal Brau one final time
❲?❳ and your daughter approaching
And your lover's name, you woke for a moment
Digging up roots of black raspberry creepers
To plant in my garden so you'll always be there
