lyrics

I was standing at the crossroads,
I considered where they crossed.
You were standing where you always stood,
I was staring at the cross.
I concluded its height was the right size for me,
So I climbed.

This time last year, I was sleeping at the crossroads.
Playing Pine's piano, I was trying hard to like myself.
My dad drove from Oxford to Clarksdale,
It's not that far from Nashville.
This time eight years ago last May,
Waitomo Cave.
You sang "Hallelujah" the Buckley - NOT the Leonard Cohen - way.
You knew the difference,
You knew all the verses.
I know now some sounds they never stay
Underground, they reverberate away
And bring the rocks right down on my sorry head.

Trochee Trochee Brooklyn, New York

A chilly midnight jam in a young Michael Stipe's basement, we've stayed in the country too long.
