The News About William Lyrics - Carried To Dust - Calexico

4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep 

Dogs on the porch, 

Spiders on the leaf 

Shipwrecked by night sailing through days 

Nobody noticed the slipping away 

Connecting the dots with thorns in his side 

Boarded up the Windows with pain and with pride 

The music box broken that once was his soul 

Its sad little song spinning out of control 

Then came the storm that washed the roads out 

Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south 

Second line drums marched into the sea 

While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny" 

They parted for Cathy and her bitter news 

As her words fail and the sky grew dim 

Recalled how close to that exit I've been 

Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why 

The news about William 

The lifeline retreats 

Desire for release 

The thorns in his side
