lyrics

It was the last song that Sadie would ever hear
her cold fingers were covered in bone
she was statue still waiting for the phone
but her eyes took me to her mind's sad dirt road

It was the last tree that would sprout in a New York street
But it was stifled and cut down in its youth
it was colored green like her honest eyes
and she took photographs to show the world proof

She gave me a place where I could let my thoughts go
She gave me a prison where the world promised to turn just too slow

They were strangers on a train to liberty
it was the last thing Sadie would ever say
But the boy took it to heart and now on his epitaph
Sadie's words, unnoticed, they lay

It was the cold look see gave to the sailor man
She said her soul too belonged to the sea
A tree grows in hell for satan now
It waits to bear fruit for poor old Sadie

She gave me a place where i could let my thoughts go
She gave me a prison where the world promised to turn just too slow
