Poem in the morning, of Lovers in the Sun
Edda in the evening, of what is still to come
There's nothing you can do for me that I can't do myself
If you stay up in your tower and hoard your precious wealth
Chorus: I, I've longed for you
Just as the Sun shines for the Moon
But if I loved the Truth as much as I love you
Then I wouldn't be the Fool
Lyric at midnight of a band on the road
A golden thread that glistens like the back of a toad
Traveling in winter with a coal in my heart
You know it's always an adventure til you end up back at the start
...and back at the start
Chorus
Reaching out in front of me
A road that runs to Mystery
My load is light, my legs are strong
And so I fare, forward on... on and on
Poem in mourning of Lovers in the Sun
Elegy of morning, O, let your life be fun!
And tell me what you want from me, if it's something I can give
For all I want for you to do dear, is to love the life you live
Chorus

The Leap

Off on the next breeze, just to see what there is to see. not thinking 'bout
the answer, just caught up in the mystery. Out in the ebb and flow,
just to learn what there is to know. Pack strapped to my shoulder,
On and up I go.
All I see is a part from me, or is all I see a part of me?
All I see changes around me, or is all I see changing me?
Ooh, What do you say?
You've got a lot to learn
Ooh, what do you see?
A different kind of world
Ooh, changing me
The path may twist and turn
Ooh, a change in me
But it's a choice you're making
Back and worth won't change my course, drop my past set me free
here or there don't have a care, I'm right where I'm s'posed to be
(scat)
All I see is apart from me, or is all I see a part of me?
All I see changes around me, or is all I see changing me?
Ooh, what do you say?
You've had some time to learn
Ooh, what do you see?
It's an ever changing world
Ooh, changing me
The path did twist and turn
Ooh, a change in me
From the choices you've made

The Road

I weigh it all in my heart, I told you who I was from the start
I weigh it all in my mind, and down the road I ride
It's not my foolish pride, It's not like I just didn't try
I stow it all inside, and down the road I ride
I weigh it all in my heart, I knew I loved you from the start
I hide my love inside, and down the road I ride
I sew it into my soul, I carry it with me 'til I'm old
I take my love in tow, and down the road I go
I don't know where I'll go, all I've got's this open road
It's not what we had in mind, but down the road I ride
I store it all in my soul, I'll carry it with me 'til I'm old
I take it all in stride, and down the road I ride

Gotta Get My Thrill

Why don't you tell me what you want from me?
I wanna get lost in the mystery
Why don't you tell me what you wanna know?
What will really get me free
How you gonna get where you wanna go
when your only goal is the open road?
My restless soul is following the only path I know
Chorus: Gotta get my thrill x3
Gotta get my T-H-R-I-L-L
Why don't you tell me what you wanna be?
I just wanna be happy
Why don't you tell me how to find your bliss?
I'm still searching for the key
How can you know reality
when you only see what you want to see?
Well everything I see outside
is still inside of me

Middle Garden

Fill up my cup let it overflow
Sit by the banks of the Ohio
Take out my troubles and watch them float
On down the river to the Gulf of Mexico
And all I ever wanted or could have dreamed
(fill up my cup, in the middle garden)
Don't matter quite as much as it seemed
(my breath starts to rust, and my heart to harden)
'cause if I can't really trust what I think that I know
(the spiraling Dark denigrates my mind)
And if it doesn't really matter which way that I go
(just give me one more, I'll be good this time)
Fill up my cup in the Middle Garden
(come Holy Spirit, take away my sin)
With Love and with Truth and with Fruit and with Pardon
(or, I'll never get enough of the fix I'm in...)
Fill up my cup let it overflow
(fill up my cup, in the middle garden)
Looking for the light by the shape of my shadow
(can't get enough, once I have started)
'cause I can only see my self by the shade that I throw
(the caverns are deep in my ailing mind)
Fumbling all around for the right way to go
(give me one more, it'll work this time)
In the dazzling dark of the Grinning Gap
(fill up my cup, take away my sin)
I'm scared that what brought me here can't carry me back
(give me the door out of where I've been...)
But the paths that I walk through the Middle Garden
Meet up at the forks on the way 2 become 1 again
Like the veins in a leaf on a branch of a Tree
Like a short kiss goodbye in a worn memory
How can I long for something inside of me?
I guess it doesn't really matter as much as it's seemed
So fill up my cup in the Middle Garden
With Love and with Truth and with Fruit and with Pardon
Fill up my Cup let it overflow x4

The Valley

Loose lips, two shits
are about all I give
A lie maintained
Becomes what it has claimed
Chorus: But I must go alone
Through the Valley of the Shadow
There's nothing you can do to take away the Truth
That I am bound to follow
Two eyes can't see
What it is you mean to me
The Truth disdained
still lies there all the same
Chorus
I don't know what to say
I could have walked away
I thought I'd found The Way
I don't know what to say
I should have walked away
I thought I'd found the way
The Way Home

The Magician

I saw you in the back of the room, eyes wide open to the world
When the swirling noumenal settled in the shape of a girl
Why would you tear in two, entwined as you already are?
Why would you turn around with your back right up against the wall?
She turned into a hare and ran up high on a mountain
So you turned into a fox and caught her deep in the cavern
She melted out of your mouth and South she flew as a dove
A hawk then harried her, saying "O it is you that I love!"
"And I will twist and fly and chase you til the day that I die!"
So she turned into a man and shot you right out of the sky
I fell like Hail to Hell, to haggle at the Well of Wyrd
When Sunshine came like a bullet to my brain
And shattered me insane for a spell

I remember when I first discovered Holy Locust, seeing a live performance that I was having trouble seeing over the heads of Bridge City Sinners lmao! But I have been in love with this album ever since I heard it. My homie has it on in his car constantly. The music is so rich and textured and beautiful, I'll never get over how amazing it is! Truly a masterpiece!

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD
