The Earthquake and the Pandemic

from The Dandy at the End of the World by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

6 in the morning waiting outside for the aftershock to subside
Social distance utmost in your thoughts
Freezing as the north winds blowing morning mist into faint snow
We’re all denied proximity and warmth

CHORUS
The Earthquake and the Pandemic
Come together without intersecting
Love and survival never been so at odds
One is unpredictable
The other creeps around invisible
Love and survival never been so at odds

Buildings cracked, rooftops damaged, streets are littered with concrete slabs
Mothers ejected bearing newborn babes
Cathedral spire collapsed on the floor, if you’re the one crushed under a door
I’ll take your hand the protective mask can wait

I call up my disabled mother, just had a stroke she’s one of the vulnerable
Somehow on my soul a peace descends
The buildings will all be repaired, virus immunity developed
I will see my mother walk again

CHORUS
