Songs: Ohia - Blue Factory Flame

From the record "Didn't It Rain"

Lyrics:

When I die
put my bones in an empty street
to remind me of how it used to be
Don't write my name on a stone
bring a Coleman lantern and a radio
Cleveland game and two fishing poles
and watch with me from the shore
Ghostly steel and iron ore ships coming home

Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness

Clearly iron age beasts
you tell by the rust and by the chains
And by the oil that they bleed
the crew and crows fly the skulls and bones
They fly the colors of their homes
I fly the cross of the blue factory flame
Stitched with heavy sulpher thread
They ain't proud colors but they're true colors of my home

Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness

Every mile for ten thousand miles
and every year for a thousand years
Every night for a thousand more I hear them calling
hear them calling
hear them calling
They never say to come home
They never say to come home
Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
paralyzed by the emptiness
