View from a Shaky Ladder by Dick Diver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Business end of cold
Blue and green and gray
You’re wondering about wandering
And waiting in driveways
[Verse 2]
The Apostles dropping down
One by two by three
And I thought you might head out too
As well eventually
[Verse 3]
Swap the water for the tide
From a shaky ladder
I watched the bird’s eye
Of your brake lights disappear
Round the point into the night
[Verse 4]
Now blue’s gone back to red again
And junk mail sits unlettered
And I’d still say you’re coming back
If I didn’t know any better
Business end of cold
Blue and green and gray
You’re wondering about wandering
And waiting in driveways
[Verse 2]
The Apostles dropping down
One by two by three
And I thought you might head out too
As well eventually
[Verse 3]
Swap the water for the tide
From a shaky ladder
I watched the bird’s eye
Of your brake lights disappear
Round the point into the night
[Verse 4]
Now blue’s gone back to red again
And junk mail sits unlettered
And I’d still say you’re coming back
If I didn’t know any better
