Northern Towns - Attack In Black

Make it so the handsome

Way of what never was

Turns to overcast what has become

Do away with that which makes

A moment so decreet

We hesitate ashamed to

Really laugh or really weep

Maybe man is worth the weight

Of what his eyes have seen

Maybe there’s a branch of wonder

Left here to believe

There are places with horizons

Above a level ground

A man’s as much as the love he leaves

Behind in northern towns

Make it so what makes us mindful

Without reprimand

Fall behind the eyes

Of every man

If the story of our lives becomes

Our sufferings penned and left

Begin to recount every time

You ever really wept
