louisa, from her window - tim robinson (folk) lyrics

[verse 1]
a business memo flutters on
a smoky redhook wind
while fragments of a summer turn
to starlings and ascend
louisa, from her window
sees a toothless gray dog yawn
at two old men from different worlds
sacrificing p*wns

[verse 2]
louisa tilts a bottle deeep
enough to drown her thoughts
a church spire shifts invisibly
toward falling but is caught
by souls still in the firehouse
whose glowing faces laugh
at something that a tv swore
would never come to pass

[chorus]
the view through ships and wire and stone
the bones of here and now
add them to your shadows and
drag on from here somehow
louisa, from her window
with her black hair falling down
[verse 3]
a wound across the water’s now
a bleeding, sawed*off sky
louisa, from her window cries
among what’s lost was mine
the traffic set below the scene
is jammed but underway
as knights fly from their castles
and the bishops claim the day
