You could share your skeletons
with casual observers
You could be best friends
With the vagrants and the searchers
Your tender heart was heavy
It was weighing on your soul
The two battled out inside you
Neither one could have control
I remember when your rabbit died
You put it in the freezer
Made an ornamental coffin
With a shoebox from your sneakers
You went down to help the people
Of the flood in New Orleans
You were living you were giving
You were the first one on the scene
Lone Rose
Used to call me the high plains drifter
Lone Rose
I take a lonely ride
Lone Rose
Couldn’t help the crying
Heard about you dying
At least i know it wasn’t suicide
Cause i know you didn’t want to die
Although you fell out of a window
Just about a year ago
Some say it was intentional
But no one really knows
I’m waiting on the subway
A rat runs across my shoe
There’s a woman on the platform over
Looks almost like you
Lone Rose
Used to call me the road rambler
Lone Rose
I’ll take the lonely ride
Lone Rose
Couldn’t help a cryin’
Heard about you dyin’
Least i know it wasn’t suicide
I know you kinda didn’t want to die
You left behind a couple letters
You never sent to me
I kept switching my address
So you just let it be
Don’t need to ask the coroner
To find out what had happened
It was the stupid deadly mixture
Of cocaine and heroin
Lone Rose
Used to call me the high plains drifter
Lone Rose
I’ll take the lonely ride
Lone Rose
Couldn’t help the crying
Heard about you dying
Least i know it wasn’t suicide
Cause i know you didn’t want to die
I saw you passing by
The Edwardian Hotel
In a soaking wet pink parka
You still looked hot as hell
You didn’t care about the rain
You said “Let it soak me to my bones!”
As it started once again
You went splashing off alone
Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
More contemplative folk from the Minnesota singer-songwriter, sustained by raw full-band arrangements and philosophical lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
Irish singer-songwriter Oisin Leech's acoustic folk music is characterized by its muted beauty and intimate, solitary quality. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2024
Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer.
Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself.
Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night.
Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
