[Lyric] Jara (Stanley (band))

Jara remembers how it once was
She'd watch the tide rise and fall
Though never one for specifics 
This was too easy to recollect 
That time before, they met

She was a day over twenty, 
When they came with all the cement 
And they said it was good for the city 
To keep the buildings intact 
What will she watch in the afternoon? 

A shame, isn't it a shame? 
My boat sits quiet and still 
That's what she had heard 
From her stoop beside the canal 

They bickered on for hours 
Of culture that was lost 
Though had they not seen the same thing 
They would both bare the cost 
Nothing to watch in the afternoon 
What would they watch in the afternoon?
