Priest Alley Song Lyrics - Songs For A Blue Guitar - Red House Painters

Going past golden gate 

Elementary everyday 

Kids down colorful hill 

Recess and fire drill 

She likes the side without the heat 

Where the sun don't beat 

She likes the cooler side 

Of Washington street 

Hummingbirds, pigeons and doves 

Hover rooftops above 

Light shine down into the tides 

Over hillsides 

See where the bridge and mountian meet 

At the mouth of the sea 

And where the sailboats live a day 

And turn away 

With the purple evening 

Losing our loving hold 

In the skies flourescent glow 

She takes her thoughts and cares 

Into the moonlit alley stairs 

Still in my hand I feel the sting 

The sound of bells ring 

And the memory of the face 

Never washes away 

The current evening
