Old Stones

from Jericho by The Northeast

/

lyrics

Long past the usual stone casting hour
And not far from the hill with the house atop the small slope
Dodging the line and sink that fell down out of the night
I try and hold myself together
If not for the sound, I would cast a stone

The moon must cast for want of wretched men
I would not be the first to speak wary of those thoughts
Conceived in lapping light, for they prod and prod again
And dangle hardly out of reach
In that moment of outstretched arms is the tug beneath your lip

Shame if I too should by lured by fool's tackle
Daybreak will see the clearing waters
And shame if I too should be caught in dark tides
Surely a moment apart from the restless churn
Of this night is but a stones throw away
The clap of stone on wave will not reach home
But fear that the daydreaming moon should turn spotlight in the night-
Tonight, after all, is not one for the casting of old stones.
