lyrics

derelict barn

the snow drifts up against the door
the roof is falling through the floor
been caving in before our eyes
since boarded up in 85

she had a dream the night before
she saw him standing over her
he said the blame was on his hands
when she awoke she knew her son was dead

it's not for me to understand
it's not for me to understand god said
it's not for me to understand

the rifle that he kept inside the barn
the way he took her hand, the way he smoked cigars,
his disappointment with the world war two
when told to stay at home and work the farm

she went alone inside the room
she wailed and wailed two hours time
when she emerged she was a rock
the children wept into her skirt

it's not for us to understand
it's not for us to understand she said
it's not for us to understand

the snow drifts up against the door
the roof is falling through the floor
been caving in before our eyes
since boarded up in 85
