Aztec Camera – The Bugle Sounds Again lyrics

Album: High Land, Hard Rain

Still so
Here we go
Nighthawk calls again
Meeting after midnight
Like we do
Flesh bared
Never scared
Know their kind too well
"Grab that Gretsch before the truth hits town"
You whispered to me as they fell

And when I'm safe and sound
With nothing left to send
The bugle sounds again

The cards are on the table now
And every other cliche somehow fits me like a glove
You know that I'd be loathe to call it love.
For strength will come to tower above
The things that I have learned to love
And just as I'm about to say "amen"
The bugle sounds again.

The vampires made a killing
Filled their pockets up with shillings
Saying someone has to pay
And you were still in hiding
Singing "Come and cry beside me"
So I ran away

And when I'm safe and sound
With nothing left to send
The bugle sounds again
The bugle sounds again
