a new song

Merrimack

It all went black the night of the attack
I’m sinking down with the Merrimack
Though I’m rusty at the seams
Caving in is never fading out
I followed my instinct, followed the wind
Hoping it would lead me back to you again
Foot over foot, I walked the tracks
Norfolk Southern eastbound
Shaky like a leaf I quiver
Wondering where and when and if we’ll ever meet
headed back home to find you
Cause you’re nothing and everything to me
Oh Darling, you’re nothing and everything to me

On the edge I saw a vision
Of an eagle hovering above the seas
And the water covered me like a blanket
Stilled by silence with no air to breathe
I awoke to the roar of thunder
And a sky writ with the colors of war
I’ been through fire, I’ been through flames
But I’m not sure I would call it hell
Hell is knowing there is no other
And all I seem notice is you
You, you are everything that I see
Cause you’re nothing and everything to me
Oh Darling, you’re nothing and everything to me

The way

Next weekend I'll be playing the Texas Pete Ribfest here in town backing up my bro.

Then I'll be heading down to the island of Hispanola for a sojourn in Cielo, Dominican Republic.
Should be some time of soul healing.
