Cathedrals
Handsome Family

The Cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship

Like the hand of God falling from the sky

A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles

But icicles don't take hundred years to die

And everyone who ever worked on this Cathedral

Or even spent a moment walking by

Everyone of us is swept away like breadcrumbs

What comfort does it bring, soaring towers left behind

There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin

Where kids race go-karts around a moat

Once we went up there in December

When every water slide and fudge shop was closed

Hoping to feel love under the icicles

All we did was drink in an empty bar

But stumbling drunk we crawled back to our motel room

And I fell against you and felt your beating heart

Lyrics by Handsome Family

  24-Hour Store   A Shadow Underneath   Bury Me Here   Down In The Ground   Down In The Valley Of Hollow Logs   Dry Bones   Everything that rises must converge   Fallen Peaches   Famous Blue Raincoat   Far From Any Road   Gail With The Golden Hair   I Fell   If the World Should End In Fire   If the World Should End In Ice   Last Night I Went Out Walking   My Ghost   My Sister's Tiny Hands   Sleepy   Stalled   The Bottomless Hole   The Giant Of Illinois   The Woman Downstairs   Weightless Again   Where The Birch Trees Lean   Whitehaven   Whitehaven
