about

Inspired by Nevada City, CA.

lyrics

In the store near the park there’s a rocker / Wood and peg, wood and peg / It belongs to the blacksmiths only daughter, fair as day, fair as day / She walks alone in the rain, her hair tied way from her face / On the ridge past the lake there’s a wizard / He junks cars, he junks cars / Swims twice a day totally naked / Sometimes near, sometimes far / I’ve peaked in side his shed / There’s maps piled high round his bed / And my best friends mom plays the sitar / Strings and bars, strings and bars / She sits on a pillow with her eyes closed / Slippers on, slippers on / His dad shipped out last fall / My friend carves holes in his walls / When the school burnt down in the springtime / We just played, we just played / Tessa K wrote me notes signed with glitter / Hearts and stars, hearts and stars / The sky would peel away / My mind would drift for days
