Hoover Songtext
von Holopaw

Hoover, why you holding back the lake
For the fancy tails that swim the gentle arc?
For the fiddle heads that rim the ragged bank
Or for the kid who pressed shadows against him

Hoover was polished white and broad shoulders
Built for the people he serves
Three stories of solid progress and propped up by a kickstand of a boy
Who threw shadows against the levee


His horses glide the inside of the box canyon
And he could break them with a flicker of his fingers
"Hey, Appaloosa, you′re a flicker of birds
Hey, Palomino, you're looking like Abraham
Hey, Dapple gray, you′re breaking up against his belly"

Hoover why you holding back
For the silver cats that drag the murky deep?
Or for the kid who drew his thumb across your lip
To pull the water down over him

Horses tangled in the bridal veil
"Hey, Appaloosa, you're a flicker
Hey, Palomino, you're looking like a
Hey, Dapple gray, you′re breaking up"
