Juliet Knows

(album: The Death Of A King - 2017)

Take me down to the place
Where the son of God's face
Hangs from the wall

They'll chalk your name on the bar
Just in case they forget who you are
Me llamo Pepé

And all the locals are late
And they sometimes negate
To open at all

But the wine tastes like a time
Stayed out to just after five
And then slept on the floor

So said Romeo
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there

Juliet knows
Where to go

So it's down into the streets
Where the anarchists meet
Just after dawn

And out into the lands
Where the peasants sang "¡No pasarán!"
Before we were born

So said Romeo
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there

Juliet knows
Where to go

As the sun slips through the open door
Like a golden ghost of day
Before you know
You are walking down by the river
