Heartwood Hollows

Lie awake in the darkness
Feel the trucks roll by on the street
Shadows travel the room
I hear you crying into your sleep
Engines hum and the big wheels turn
I love this city at night
Ghost ship sailing around the riverbend
As pretty as light

Oh whirling heart

Heartwood hollows
Darkness follows
Heartwood hollows
Darkness follows

Once proud giants were felled by men who saw the forest for trees
Arboretum of buildings with a million windows for leaves
Gallows, bellows and boardfeet making more on more of the same
Columnaded opinions turn the words on tongues of flame

Oh whirling heart

Heartwood hollows
Darkness follows
Heartwood hollows
Darkness follows
