lyrics

The realization that I ran away again
Comes creeping down my spine in the morning
I found home where there was no room to grow
By Fletcher Falls where the cold waters flow

And we'd drive those winding mountain roads
With Jack and Bobby on the radio
And I left him like everyone he's ever known

And when I go I'm not coming back
Magic ends in the presence of logical fact
And no ritual's 'gonna get us back on track

The sky is grey and the leaves they fall on the ground
And I'm headed back east to my hometown
'Cause you ain't one to tell me when to slow down
When I'm going to slow I may as well turn around

And I know its 'gonna be so god damn hard
Just knowing that we're prairie miles apart
When I hear that transport truck engine start
But I know your light can lead you through the dark
And I'll play these strings to the rhythm of your heart

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
