Adirondack Amish Holler - Frontier Ruckus[00:00:00]
So I am the eyes[00:00:35]
That my father cried out[00:00:37]
In our swamp sunk with doubt[00:00:40]
In the darkyards of[00:00:42]
North Country aging uncles[00:00:45]
Caught in the summer horrid[00:00:47]
Endless and fluttered torrid[00:00:50]
But all of my ditches[00:00:52]
Were buzzing green as I grew taller[00:00:54]
Fam'ly don't know that[00:01:01]
I've seen the road end[00:01:04]
Far past the bridges where[00:01:06]
Salt thaws out to the river[00:01:09]
There on the roadside[00:01:11]
Passing by I spied[00:01:14]
Billboards that relied on[00:01:16]
Only I to deliver[00:01:19]
The dusk to the years[00:01:22]
And old mirrors in here[00:01:26]
Now those windows[00:01:48]
Still bring back memories[00:01:49]
Supermarket rusting[00:01:54]
Through the trees[00:01:56]
Hearts drawn on invisibilities like these[00:02:00]
Aching Spring please bring a ring[00:02:07]
For the powder songs[00:02:09]
These orchards sing[00:02:10]
And that shall string[00:02:14]
The one thing I have left[00:02:15]
In Adirondacka you are the fire[00:02:22]
Escape alley gleaming[00:02:26]
I've shed your red valleys dreaming[00:02:29]
Of Springtown streets and pinksky sheets[00:02:32]
Adirondacka harmonicas were blowing[00:02:35]
Through the fairgrounds darlin'[00:02:39]
Life blows their scary sounds on us[00:02:42]
But that is why the spirits fly in Adirondacka[00:02:45]
So my twitchin' girl[00:02:52]
When I kissed you our dock had been broken[00:02:55]
And every word spoken[00:02:59]
Were desp'rate desire seeds[00:03:02]
Sown in your raging hair[00:03:04]
Blown to your face so fair[00:03:07]
But I died five lifetimes[00:03:09]
Before I breathed just what I needed[00:03:12]
No place is safe no more[00:03:18]
'Cept sometimes in my door-[00:03:21]
I have something that[00:03:23]
No one else ever touches[00:03:26]
Oh Adirondacka dust bowl harmonicas[00:03:28]
Blew through poor houses[00:03:33]
And all sorts of awkward crutches[00:03:36]
The city hall poplars soon perfumed of death[00:04:05]
The kitchen yellows soon paled every breath[00:04:10]
The afternoon lethargy[00:04:16]
Makes our home cleft and left[00:04:17]
Open wide as barns divide[00:04:23]
The supper swamp and gentle pride[00:04:25]
From every side as sunset is upset[00:04:30]
In America the mayor comes[00:04:38]
And walks among the Greenpark benches[00:04:41]
Dreams are just like endless trenches[00:04:45]
It quenches me halfheartedly[00:04:48]
Adirondacka I am the water[00:04:51]
You are pumping[00:04:55]
The town-end glades are up and jumping[00:04:58]
The narrow road [00:05:01]
My past implodes in episodes[00:05:02]
That I've forgotten[00:05:05]
We love our families[00:05:59]
We love our twilight trees[00:06:02]
We love our memories[00:06:05]
Salt pours out to the river[00:06:08]
There on the swamp edge[00:06:11]
Skies north of the mountains[00:06:13]
My eyes pulse like fountains[00:06:17]
And salt pours out to the river[00:06:20]
Kiss you in eye-gulps[00:06:23]
As my piney heart yelps[00:06:25]
In no other manner[00:06:29]
Could salt pour out to the river[00:06:32]
At dinnertime[00:06:40]
