From the recording Symbols and Signs
Lyrics
photographs bring you right back
to Virginia, to sidewalk cracks
a thin sounding tall Marshall stack
That we’d blast away, every night away
till an hour we weren’t allowed
On a night when you struggled to hold
a tired body with a flourishing soul
I’ll endeavor to stay strong as you are
live like light shown from Lake Mercer stars
lucky you showed us yourself
where we come from, and everything else
I wish I could see you in the house
where we’d blast away, every night away
Till an hour we weren’t allowed
On a night when you struggled to hold
a tired body with a flourishing soul
I’ll endeavor to stay strong as you are
live like light shown from Lake Mercer stars
All these sound waves, pierce basement walls
we sang loud, idealistic, and true
as years muddle my voice, my spirit’s
still findable listening to you
(when there is communal silence out of public respect
I’ll be listening for you
In the poignant moments towards the end of the set,
I’ll be taking your cue)
On a night when you struggled to hold
a tired body with a flourishing soul
I’ll endeavor to stay strong as you are
live like light shown from Lake Mercer stars
live like light shown from Lake Mercer Stars
live like light shown from Lake Mercer Stars
