Beyond, Beyond, Beyond - Joel Plaskett

Me and you on Gallows Hill

1980, 1 or 2

Hurry up now, tie your shoes

We’re gonna be late for school

Passing through the gravestones as we’re drawing near

I do not know anyone who’s buried here

In the basement singing songs

Hughie, turn the PA on Judy let us rock that room

Out of time and out of tune

Walk the streets of Lunenburg, recall the time

I’m countin' all the crows upon the power line

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

I don’t know where to go and I don’t know where to run

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

In '87 I moved away

So long, boys, I’ll be back someday

I’ll visit every now and then

It’s the beginning of the end

Judy’d come to see us when we play in town

Family and friends are so important now

September shakin' sadness sings

Now look at what October brings

Answerin' the phones that ring

People speak unspeakable things

Tryin' to think of something I can say to them

Comin' up with nothin' again, again, again

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

I don’t know where to go and I don’t know where to run

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

Me and you on Gallows Hill

So much anger left to kill

You’re driftin' out, you’re driftin' in Where to end, where to begin?

Passin' through the gravestones as we’re drawin' near

Somebody we know and love is buried here

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

It’s beyond, beyond, beyond

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

Of any place I know this is the darkest one

Anger flows like rivers deep

But in my heart I swear I’ll keep

Beauty, love and people close

'Cause that is what we need the most

The green grass on the hillside grows so high and true

They’d need a million crows to kill a sky this blue
