lyrics

Purple martin sanctuary
find a place where we can hide
the hours away
desperation foreign to the ones
who understand the simple nursery rhyme
seemingly so far away
they who do not notice paint their shades of gray
nervously their fingers twitch upon the trigger
knowing that it's going wrong
It's going wrong

One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind

And you are there
just by the river
a lovers kiss
a style from 1924
We sit like ghosts together in the rain
and wonder how it could have gone so wrong
It's going wrong

One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind

Purple Martin Sanctuary
shadows fall around us
in the afternoon
Far below the lights come on
here and there
the night falls on our way back home
It's going wrong

One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind
