Judee at the Delaware Water Gap (A Prelude) Songtext
von Field Guides

This is just a place
You are just a song
Was it a disgrace that I could never play along?

Driving through the Gap
Listening for a sound
You put on Judee Sill and we sang along
Soldier of the heart
How′d you get so strong
And did you already know I'd fall apart?


The sound the honey locust makes
When its leaves shake in the wind
You said that you regretted that
I had to be a man

You put the magnet on
The photo on the fridge
Your brother in a tree, his eyes aimed at the lens
Your father′s point and shoot
The moment still suspended
The bending branch reflecting the buried root
