The Cathedral Swings Lyrics

Meet me by the cathedral swings

Show me what you're made of

I will take my father's rings

Steal your mother's makeup

We'll paint our faces grey as graves

We'll paint our eyes like cats' eyes

We'll walk along the last new wall

And watch the dust never stop settling

I'll meet you by the cathedral swings

So we can see for certain

We'll go through town and make a face

At every closing curtain

And we'll go dancing door to door

And sing to ghosts worth grieving for

Beneath a tree where roots still rise

I'l hear you whisper

I've never felt more alive
