Green Rode

V1
Heading out to see
what this stone has left for me.
(and) When I walk this tortured way back home,
I’ll be paving its sides with mari and gold
V2
Strung along by daffodils
faeries lead me away
“So be careful on the rode,
remember what you’re told
and don’t never turn back when you’re down a green rode”
C2
I hear the moon and the stars
and their chanting at night
They rhyme with memories of you
I wish, I wish, I hadn’t gone so far
Morning Star, take me to where you are
VAR
Daffodils and Irises and Sunflowers and Marigold and Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, come out to play
Daffodils and Irises and Sunflowers and Marigold and Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, all wither away
C4
Fed by hunger, false hope song
stories fill me day
why’d I have to take that turn this way
We can’t ever turn back when we’re down a green rode
C5
Oh I was such a fool,
I can’t believe I got tricked by you
Come back! Come back! Come back and make me whole
I’m gonna find you and take back my soul

V1.
Stranger rode in at noon (time)
On one world-weary mule
We’d never seen so frail a pair in all our years
V2.
The man approached our saloon (now)
Burden now off the steed
The poor ass fell over
head first into the dirt
Trail of tears feeds the flowers he leaves behind
V3.
As the man swung our doors wide
We knew something just wasn’t right
He had no iron on his hip, but
He open carried a smile, (His lips read)
“No hatchets to bury, nor axes to grind”
V4.
The stranger sat himself down
what followed you wouldn’t believe
He didn’t know where he was, and I’m afraid, it was too late to leave.
Made me wonder why he rode to this dark town
V5.
Rope bound and kneeling for trial
Mayor got out the dice
The stranger let out a sigh
Seeing those crimson squares fly
Like his last try, our world ain’t for his kind
[Break] Testify
Var. 1
And our reverend asked the man
‘Tell me how do you plead?’
but His red cheeks two-stepped with his chest
Var. 2
Sheriff’s spurs cut his side
on his way up the tree, but,
that’s just life in the blood-soaked West
R
And his pale horse arose
Galloped to his master’s side.
Trampling over rows
of folk who did not show them
Var. 3
mercy or drink.
All while they recited prayers.
A shame they all fell on a deaf God’s ears
The souls that remained all started to sing
out in praise
“Our New World has been made!”
V6.
Stranger left town twelve thirty
he graced us with one final wave
Reckoning from horseback
his next planet to save

V1
Walking back to the garden
but everything going back feels out of place
The voice returned so suddenly
the one that was telling us to hide our faces
V2
And of this you cannot speak
because you don’t wanna lie
--
It’s getting hard to breathe
because you’re ashamed to cry
V3 Var
Good times, bad times all pass
Your wallet’s dry but dream you’d
drowned in that wishing well
Instead
V5
Step out of your cells
fellow prisoners
All prison guards have been summarily executed
and our warden is swinging from a tree.
I repeat
Step out of your cells
fellow prisoners
All prison guards have been summarily executed
and our warden has shown us what it means and what it takes to be free.
Step out of your cells
v7
The chains are just as heavy as they were just one moment ago
(but they feel lighter)
Dare we hope that our stars and divine winds will lead these jail birds home

Think of flowers
Think of all the time that you spent waiting
Only just to lose it all again
