Weathervanes

Weathervanes

Buildings scrape at the skyline
Cranes spin round like weathervanes
You and I shrug our shoulders
Who are we to complain

If we make that something
To replace that something
Don't it just stand up there
In the way

Easy ways to remember
You and I keep the pace
Photographs fall off magnets
Worn out pages using space

When we take that something
To escape that something
Don't it just end up there
In the way

If we make this one thing
To replace that something
Will it make that something
Meaningless

I remember the road and the destination
(Running down to the edge of the sea)
You said you'd look for all the places your love went

When we take that something
Rearrange that something
Don't it just stand up there
In the way

If we make this one thing
To replace that something
Don't it just stand up
In the way
In the way
The way
In the way
The way
In the way
The way
In the way
The way
