Story behind the song
A collaboration between me and Soundclick artist Rob Grant. Me: vocal, guitar, sequencer, organ Rob Grant: slide guitar, bass
Lyrics
I walked through the graves by the beach Saw the bleached roses laying on the ground Love that is not forgotten Love that has just gotten busy We walked to Hunt club with the power gone Saw the cars lined up but the pumps were down And oh that night, could you see the stars Mars glowing like I'd never seen it before I walked to the edge of my father's town There was nothing but wheat stretching to the sun. The city just ended like a scissor fell Cut the world in two, I'm on the other side I walked to the place where you lay down It looked like you, I was sure it did Made my hands shake, but you weren't there Just a mannequin that would not move I walked to the place where they keep the trains I could still smell the coal, hear the whistle blow I put my hand on the lever but it would not move I am not the conductor, not the engineer
