about

This song was based on a character that I developed years ago. I did a set of drawings and some writing and an installation around him. In his narrative, he slips into a fugue state while working at a repetitive factory job, and wanders around in the train yards and empty lots of his mid western city. Eventually he falls in the river.

lyrics

Ace up with the sun / chase the frost from the thistle
up and then he ran / down the road
his head feels broken in / like a rotten old pumpkin
too much to hold / just let go

and the ten is a long wide / dangerous ribbon
but the river / it's like wine
when the sun is high / it'll have it's
gun at your back / better find a cool station

in that grey line of trees / a flash of color
brings me to my knees / god I miss you all

if you knew how much I / loved you all
so much / it ran me through
it's too much to hold / you just let go
let it take you / take you
just wash me up / somewhere cleaner
show me my own mind
let me see it all / for what it is
let me see it / with kind eyes

in this warm velvet sand / I think I'll lay me down
and close my eyes / stop by and say hello

soon, surrounded by / trees in bloom
everyone I ever knew
we were all there then / all together
it was fine / it was fine
and it's so damn good / to see you all
and did I mention / I love you?
