Blue Factory Flame Lyrics - Didn't It Rain - Songs:ohia

When I die put my bones in an empty street to remind me of how it used to be 

Don't write my name on a stone bring a Coleman lantern and a radio 

Cleveland game and two fishing poles and watch with me from the shore 

Ghostly steel and iron ore ships coming home 

[Repeat: x4] 

Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness 

Clearly iron age beasts you can tell by the rust and the chains 

And by the oil that they bleed the crew and crows fly the skulls and bones 

They fly the colors of their homes I fly the cross of the blue factory flame 

Stitched with heavy sulpher thread/threat 

They ain't proud colors but they're true colors of my home 

[Repeat: x4] 

Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness 

Every mile for ten thousand miles and every year for a thousand years 

Every night for a thousand more I hear them calling 

[Repeat: x2] 

They never say to come home
