Laurie Hallal: harmony vocals

they tore the foundry down
and with it came the town
so long ago but I remember, I recall
the day they closed it up
hung the sign up in the front
with the old grey river
rolling over, rolling on

and what would heal our fathers’ hearts
our fathers’ hearts lay broken

hey yeah, alright
best not to look behind now
hey yeah, alright
it’s gonna cost you sometime
hey yeah, alright
best better look behind now
hey yeah, alright

that brickyard bend that I know
from childhood long ago
broken bottle playground I remember, I recall
our rusted swingset dream
in the shadow of the trains
summer daylight streaming
rolling over, rolling on

and what of this was left for us
what’s left for us is nothing

[chorus]

we left our company there
and set off for somewhere
not long ago but I remember, I recall
we live here still today
in New York and LA
and midwestern skies keep
rolling over, rolling on

and what would fill our children’s hearts
our children’s hearts lay open

[chorus]
