E. Take me home
A tune written for mountain-banjo


Kingdom come with you


Up against my breath you rest

Nothing about you is easy

Loose her, I think you'll loose her

On her back is a loaded shotgun

All the banjo's are silenced as she pass on by

Dead are all the vultures in her trail

Every single one of us are left at her mercy now

Dead are all the kingdoms and the earth is far far away

___

And you can't stop a river
No way to fight the currents
Drowning my every plea
___

Deep as the river you are is the trouble I'm in

Yes, a sister is a sister is a sister

In every language

No, no saving me now my love

Going going gone to wherever you're gone

Dear Lourdes:

I found this piece to be mystically haunting. Great work.
