Loops Songtext
von The Magic Lantern

Met Grandad in a nursing home
At three weeks young
He didn′t know who he was looking at
But something of him was screaming back
With two bright lungs
And the threads of a helix in a genome
Can you see the Lou blooming?
Can you see it, the Lou blooming?
Our father's sons, we stagger on
Our faith in nurture
We′ll chase the dream, make the desert green
God loves a searcher
"That won't be me, no, that won't be me"
You said over and over
But nature waves like a sullen wave
With great composure
Can you see the Lou blooming?
Can you see it, the Lou blooming?
Well, time′s a damn, I′m holding your hand
And I have a daughter


It was gonna burst, Oh, how love's a thirst
These shoes are full of water
"Well, please not you, Cora needs you too"
I said over and over
But the code is clear, so press enter here
For full disclosure
Can you see the Lou blooming?
Can you see it, the Lou blooming?
She met Grandad in a nursing home
At three weeks young
He didn′t know who he was looking at
But something of him was screaming back
With two bright lungs
And the threads of a helix in a genome
When he died, he was all alone
I had one day wrong
Didn't remember how to breathe
But something of him was left to grieve
And five throats sung songs like a blanket
So tightly woven
