lyrics

Rice’s Crossing

From Manor to Taylor, way up North
The Nova’s riding fine
The New Sweden cemetery is scibbled as in one line
On the horizon
I’m coming near to some trees, a barn, some farmers gear
I parked my car at Rice’s Crossing

Is it the spring or is it the space or what I left behind
I left the illness of the city for this stillness in my mind
Shake of the miles, shake those monkeys from my back
I can stand the black cat at Rice’s crossing

Here they come, them moped rides
Holding my father tight
I’m hearing ghosts and demons in the drone
Of the sound that fills the forest night
Dark days of the honest killer
The Roman lost between moor and moon
Shining on my cap and boyish fears
At Rice ‘s Crossing

From the first wrong kiss to the first big loss
To your first real blush and the first real sigh
I started dwelling through the fields
I heard a lark sing way up high
Sing to me about jumping fish, some more summer wine
And I’ll drink to all them days of mine

And I fall for you
