Blue Copper Teapot

Liner Notes

“...but the silver’s our gold” ~me on Lost, Saved, Destroyed
I feel like I’m gonna have to go with copper here, gold and silver are too easy and for brass I have a song in mind for the distant future, and by distant I mean like 2027
Anyway here’s a short one

Lyrics

I’ve been watching the blue copper teapot out in the rain
I’ve been waiting to see if it slowly turns orange again
But then I realized the damage has been done
And everything I have done wrong, I’ll never make right

I found an old copper coin in the rubble
Amongst world war I grenades
Decades apart, both seen better days
But one must have brought joy and one must have brought pain

I didn’t realize, it’s an effective marker of time
But I think it was a sign, when the water tastes bitter
And I think we’ve lost the time, when the hands fell off the clock
And we can’t put them back on
