about

How does it feel when you roll home at 4 am after a night of watching the drunks, sleep a few hours, then watch the dragonflies skirt down to the creek and the fireflies turn into stars?

This track features the incredible Matt Combs (John Hartford Band) on fiddle and Landen Summay on organ.

lyrics

Conversations and love affairs
Drifting through the night
Slurring drunks and captive eyes
Locked into my sight
it’s past midnight free fall to morning
and I’m watching you float past my table
My feet frozen, body unable
To exercise the command
my mouth cannot handle

All these drunks in all these dives
Every night bring new life
Struggle through, dawn to dusk
Use misery in the clutch
Know consequences
breathing in present tenses
Trying to conjure their senses
With words and drink
Tying up sentences
And find some meaning
to it all


See the sunlight filtering
Through the evening leaves
Dance across the Sweet William
in the evening breeze
hot air swells, the rains refuse to tell
a dragonfly glides across the lawn
through the baby’s breadth and
on out through to dawn
floating fireflies turn into stars
