about

Quick and dirty again this week, with apologies to drummers or anyone who has ever heard the drums.

lyrics

tonight i wish i had wine
but i’m settling for water
as we roll on down the line
down to port saint larue

so much judgement in my mind
gives me no comfort and no quarter
whatever salvation i find
you know i’ll send it back to you

all those boys up in valhalla
made me forget my own name
in that old sixty three impala
speeding back from where we came

but all the dreams of a young man
they won’t burn through the night
you just wake up cold and hungry
in the early morning light

shorn of fleece and fancy
like and exile on the run
haunted by all the things i can’t see
under this cool midday sun

every living thing is an alter
everyone whose gone on is a saint
i’m out here somewhere on the border
bereft of grievance and complaint

all those girls down in el dorado
they made my head spin around
in that land of no tomorrows
my feet never touched the ground

but all the dreams of a young man
they won’t burn through the night
you just wake up cold and hungry
in the early morning light
