Ren Lawton - Blue Hounds

Keep your blue hounds from my door
I think that they can tell
That I've been hiding foxes under floor
They're tired and need my help

Red roses in my garden grow
Clovers, daffodils
The thistle thrives beyond the wall
Don't you dare put your torch to it

The rising tide
Sank all ships but one
If I'm alive when morning comes
I had to float to survive
Float to survive

Break the ground below my feet
Blow smoke into the sky
Cup your hands around your ears
And wonder why you can't hear the cries

Ask your father ask a friend
Ask them do they know
Why it is that so few have so much
Why we ain't got nothing to show

The rising tide
Sank all ships but one
If I'm alive when morning comes
I had to float to survive
Float to survive

Hand me a candle and my coat
These winters are getting mighty cold
Ready the handcuffs and prison cells
It feels like a crime to be growing old

The rising tide
Sank all ships but one
If I'm alive when morning comes
I had to float to survive
Float to survive

Keep your blue hounds from my door
Keep your blue hounds from my door
Keep your blue hounds from my door
I think that they can tell

That we ain't frightened anymore
