Sunday Island

Lyrics

when the train climbed the ladder 
up out of the yard 
on a thread of cement and blue lightning

the lay of the land betrayed
my purple heart 
and the fates of the men who fell fighting

(refrain:)
was davis a general?
did dempster win wars?
did they try to defend sunday island?
did sheridan curse as
he clung to the shore
when the cavalry failed and fell silent?

one white snowflake for every
grain of white sand
we stood fast at the lake to defend her

when the horses were cut down
we marched hand in hand
crown tower never signalled surrender

(refrain x2)
