lyrics

These were the words that I improvised (transcribed after the performance):
And so I walked several steps towards the ruins
The stonework crumbling before me
I could see the window frames
Look through both sides
Looked through for years
And the grass was cold and cutting cross like blades
As we walked the short distance from the car
Never again shall we come this way
The tumbling mortar
The levels of things inside the building
The mortar on mortar
The layers on layers
Patina, patina, patina, patina, patina
We'll paper on top of paint
On top of paper on top of paint
Patina, patina, patina
And he looked
And he saw
And he said
"Yes, we go..."
As Romans have walked this frosted path
And looked upon this sky
The cracking dawn
The dark night... never come to me again
Patina, patina, patina
