Lyrics for Simple Tom And The Ghost Of Jenny Bailey by And Also The Trees:
| | | Artist: | And Also The Trees |
| | Album: | Millpond | | Track: | Simple Tom And The Ghost Of Jenny Bailey | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | The day flees the town with a drunkard's yell
Silence from the slaughterhouse
And the
midnight bell
Shudders down Shambles alley
Slamming shutters
And the market
litter flies
Newspaper acrobats, straw and rags
Whirl up to Tom's window...
And
away
Simple Tom looks out across the town
Come into my shipwreck room
/>
Creaking beams and tilting shadows
And the tallow-sticks burn
High above the
cobble streets
Come into my shipwreck room
Jenny Bailey
We can see
Tom's hand only
Pulling horse-hair from the chair
The candle splutters
His
pupil shrinks, his pupil grows
You are my ghost Jenny Bailey
Come and dance with me
/>
While the whole town sleeps
Simple Tom looks out across the town
Walk
across the scaly roofs
Look into my open window
Oh, my rooftop girl
Rats-tail
hair and milky skin
Glinting in the weather-vanes
