lyrics

Well, I recall a wet fall
and the leaves upon the ground
and the half-sane teenage veins of mine
all popping out.
Some weekday evening, headed home
when there was no one else around,
a swift, dark doe crossed the road
right down Van Emmon.

With four wheels barely hanging on --
yeah, wobbling in their tracks --
and a beat up Stratocaster
lying in the back.
Already late by precious minutes
and inappropriately relaxed.
On the scenic route down through
the jade corridor of Van Emmon.

In a late night wrong decision
to obey a broken rule,
I didn't stay out long enough
to break into your parents' liquor cabinet
that the next day
I heard all about at school.
But on the drive back home,
I found the snow
to be shining and restful on Van Emmon.

When all my tethers snapped,
it left me free to float away.
And the wind was never stronger
than it was that day.
Soon a tiny little scribble
in the distance just remained.
But I held onto
that view
of Van Emmon.
