It must have been noon
the sun hung high-up in the sky
but you were leaning so low
nowhere to go
It must have been summer
laundry hanging up on the line
while you dried your tears
after all those years
You can call on me
I'll be a branch on the giving tree
You can call on me
I'll be the calm in your troubled sea
It must have been troubled times
only shadows in your path
the darkness spread so wide
no one on your side
You can call on me
I'll be a branch on the giving tree
You can call on me
I'll be the calm in your troubled sea

Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
trading in tragedy
Down by the tracks we don't say things twice
we share our space with the sewer rats and field mice
down by the tracks every penny is flat
take some time to process that
Down by the tracks we live in and out
we live over the whispers and under the shout
Down by the tracks while the universe expands
people will criticize but we do the best we can
Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
trading in tragedy
Down by the tracks by the railway fence
They roll by slow in the blue suspense
Down by the tracks somebody killed a guy
sixteen years old and his mother cried
Down by the tracks we tip the scales
no one commits but no one ever bails
Down by the tracks it's all slight of hand
it only takes one glance to say that 'I'm your man'
Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
people trading in tragedy

When they turn up the heat
that's when we take to the street
when the ends just won't meet
that's when we take to the street
when we feel it under our feet
that's when we take to the street
when they only offer us defeat
that's when we take to the street
All we've ever known is history from below
build with bricks or build with bone
broken down there's a sizzle and glow
all we've ever known is our muddy shore
broken glass is scattered across the hardwood floor
listen now, there's a moaning roar at your door
All we've ever known is how it hurts to fall
when the tales all get too tall
bring yourself to the port of call
When they turn up the heat
that's when we take to the street
when the ends just won't meet
that's when we take to the street
when we feel it under our feet
that's when we take to the street
when they only offer us defeat
that's when we take to the street
take to the street...

Such tiny bones in such a little machine
hold you in my arms, I will share your dreams
every day something beautiful is born, and something disgusting dies
never spoke no hate, never believed no lies
Never fucked it up, never bit the hand
never got on your knees 'cause it was too hard to stand
such tiny hands will purify my sins
the blood is thick even thought the line is thin
and I know when I look your face
while you grow you will find your place
amongst the hatred and the lying and defeat
and you'll do it with kindness, and with grace
Declan all the time
always on my mind
it's you, oh you...
It grows just a little harder each lonely day
I will hold onto your fears and cast them away
even though the pits of hell / heights of heaven do not exist
I will teach you to be happy, to be humble, and to resist
and I know when I look into your face
that you'll fit yourself into this awful place
the ground will shake when you walk, it'll thunder when you talk
it'll shower when you look into space
Declan all the time
always on my mine
it's you, oh you...
