[Bm]Red sun [D]go down [A]way over d[G7]irty town
[Bm]Starlings are s[D]weeping around cr[A]azy sh[G7]oals
[Bm]They send a [D]girl is there h[A]igh heeling[G7] across the square
[Bm]Wind blows ar[D]ound in her hair [A]and the flags upon the po[G7]les

(repeat chords)
Church bell clinging on just to trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
They're all in the station praying for trains the congregation late again
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gave her a fright he's crazy lion he's howling for a fight

(repeat chords)
Strap hanging gunshot sound doors slamming on the overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn but there's hope later Capricorns
Lucky stars give her just enough to get her home
Then she's reading about a swing to the right
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night

I'm thinking about the lions, thinking about the loins
What happened to the lions, to the lions, to the lions, to the lions
