Elvis Costello - Country Darkness lyrics

This tattered document A mystery you can solve Some burnt out filament Flies still buzzing around the bulb Country Darkness He thought of traveling Heard an approaching train Drown out his desperate pulse A song with no refrain Country Darkness She daydreams of forbidden sins There must be something more The prison she lives in The one with the open door The veil is covering A glistening and cruel blade Suffer little children Repent, unfaithful maid Country Darkness
