about
A long, long lost track, I can't remember how many years ago I wrote this, but it's actually pretty good!
References from my trip to Romania in 2002 - the clock tower is in the Central Transylvanian city of Sighisoara, the jackals roamed loose on the country mountain roads, and the lightning struck as often as the clock chimed, or so it seemed!

lyrics
Jackals
When the day comes, the morning lies deep
In the morning, I wake from my sleep
Come the afternoon, the sun will not shine
Until I hear you say that you’re mine
When the lovers who hide by my wall
Decide that the lightning should fall
And the jackals that prowl round my door
Remember they’ve been here before
And the elegant clocktower chime
Reminds me to set back the time, again
Reminds me to set back the time,
Again
But the evening lies empty, my friend
And I’m wondering just where to begin
And what kind of well I fell in
Til the remnants of what went before
Well they break down a hole in the floor
And I know that it’s you I adore
And I know that it’s you I adore
And I know that it’s you I adore
Again, again, again
When the day comes, the morning lies deep
In the morning, I wake from my sleep
Come the afternoon, the sun will not shine
Until I hear you say that you’re mine
When the lovers who hide by my wall
Decide that the lightning should fall
And the jackals that prowl round my door
Remember they’ve been here before
And the elegant clocktower chime
Reminds me to set back the time, again
Reminds me to set back the time,
Again
But the evening lies empty, my friend
And I’m wondering just where to begin
And what kind of well I fell in
Til the remnants of what went before
Well they break down a hole in the floor
And I know that it’s you I adore
And I know that it’s you I adore
And I know that it’s you I adore
Again, again, again
