WARREN ZEVON - PRISON GROVE lyrics

rate me

written by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón

An icy wind burns and scars

Rushes in like a fallen star

Through the narrow space

Between these bars

Looking down on Prison Grove

Dug in, hunkered down

Hours race without a sound

Gonna carry me to where I'm bound

Looking down on Prison Grove

Iron will hard as rock

Hold me up for the fateful knock

When they walk me down in a mortal lock

Out on Prison Grove

Shine on all these broken lives

Shine on

Shine the light on me

Knick Knack Paddy Wack

They say you'll hear your own bones crack

When they bend you back to bible black

Then you'll find your love

Some folks have to die too hard

Some folks have to cry too hard

Take one last look at the prison yard

Goodbye Prison Grove

Shine on all these broken lives

Shine on

Shine the light on me
