lirik lagu thomverlaine – illyah kuryahkin
[verse 1]
you’ll go away
won’t tell the locals that you’re gone
and your song won’t be
what brings you back down there
[chorus]
by the time the first note’s heard
then comes the pogo mocking bird
and then the friend whose drunken boat got lost
before not long ago
[verse 2]
so stay awake
the river’s poison like the airwaves and faces
that won’t hear without a mad craze
[chorus]
by the time the first note slurred
then came the pogrom mocking bird
and then the friend whose drunken boat
got lost and then got found a long time
before not long ago
[instrumental]
[chorus]
in the grim town’s creaking veins
where clifford brown was sleeping days
and powder fingers have no say
unshunned, you listened to a friend
whose drunken boat got found a long time
before not long ago
