Song For My Father
Mt. Egypt

Better play that guitar, boy,nYou don't play it no more,nPlay for all that it's worth,nWho knows what life has in store,nAnd things seem to get harder,nAnd then they relent,nThen they carry on,nThen they carry on,nThen they carry on.nnNo more midnight rocking,nOf far away chairs,nMa, I swear I saw it moving,nBut there was nobody there,nIn the morning on the couch,nAt the bottom of the stairs,nSwore I'd flown on down,nSwore I'd flown on down,nSwore I'd flown on down.nnTwenty or so houses,nSince I first took flight,nThings first got creepy,nWhen the dark southern night,nNorth, south, west, east, creepy,nNight and overseas,nNight and overseas,nOverseas,nOverseas.nnAnd I'll scream it out loud,nGonna drive it away,nAll this bad air here lurking,nYou know it's been here all day,nBut I've flown in you before,nAnd I smiled in love,nAs I've cried on fire,nAs I've cried on fire,nAs I've cried on fire.nnI play this guitar,nFor the both of us now,nI got much work to do,nWe will smile somehow,nAnd he knows how much I love him,nIt comes burning right through,nHe can see it in my eyes,nHe can see in my eyes,nHe can see in my eyes.nnThere is a green canoe on top of a brown and orange van. The van is making its way through a windy Appalachian mountain road. The driver of the van is playing air drums and guitar to loud music and looking back every once in a while at the passenger in the back of the van, who is smiling. The van is leaving the mountains and heading down to the sea. Blue crabs, sunburns, and homeless cats. The ocean is warm because it's summer. Chincoteague, Assateague, the Outer Banks, Lands End Trail, Devon and Cornwall. Zuma Beach.
