Signwriter
Bite your nails like a telegraph
Squint to read the neon signs
Sitting at the wooden table
Drinking sake after midnight
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges
Dissected seeds
Threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
And the ducks on the river go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
The river flows south and smiling, wide
The night gets dark and the morning brighter
Signwriter
You didn't write back in German
Cause you'd forgotten the numbers and shapes
You still recall the smell of petrol in the car
After you walked out the gate
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges, dissected seeds
You threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
Your whiskey grin
And talk of winning
If you stack the cards right
You can build a house
And the words come slowly from your mouth
Windows wide open
A smiling river facing south
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges
Dissected seeds
You threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
Didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
Squint to read the neon signs
Sitting at the wooden table
Drinking sake after midnight
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges
Dissected seeds
Threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
And the ducks on the river go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
The river flows south and smiling, wide
The night gets dark and the morning brighter
Signwriter
You didn't write back in German
Cause you'd forgotten the numbers and shapes
You still recall the smell of petrol in the car
After you walked out the gate
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges, dissected seeds
You threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
Your whiskey grin
And talk of winning
If you stack the cards right
You can build a house
And the words come slowly from your mouth
Windows wide open
A smiling river facing south
You scanned the horizon
Read the jet stream
Peeled open oranges
Dissected seeds
You threw the dandelions into the breeze
And didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
Didn't it get brighter, signwriter?
