“hey shopkeeper”

Noticed another shop has closed in Bowral today. This song will be on my next acoustic ep and is dedicated to every shop that has come and gone in these hard times.

Hey Shopkeeper - Luke Lukess 2012

behind the store is a man
he knows this is the end
he closes the door on Christmas eve
he closes the door on life

everything on his mind
secure by only time
means nothing to you and nothing to me
dispute our new found sympathy

another to fall, a sign to us all
these times are here to stay
a sign to us all, another will fall
we turn the other way

behind the door is a man
who knows he must confess
stability gone, it won’t be long
what happened to making sense

the children are all asleep
his food on the tables cold
he speaks of a hope to keep things alive
he knows its only time

another to fall, a sign to us all
these times are here to stay
a sign to us all, another will fall
we turn the other way

hey shopkeeper, i know how you feel
i’ve known how you can’t sleep at night
i’m wishing you well, escape from this hell
hey shopkeeper stay alive

hey shopkeeper, don’t lean on that gun
you can’t let this ruin your life
hey shopkeeper i’ll show you the light
believe me i’ve been where you are

hey shop keeper!
