ARTIST'S NOTES:
This was written on a grey day -- after a raucous night at the legendary Dar's Place in Waukon Iowa. Brenda was pourin' em strong! I drove into the bland landscape to the west with darkness falling. Feb '94

lyrics

Flat light out on a broken prairie
clouds hang low through February
four lane highways going nowhere
under overpasses sinking lower and lower

wind blows grey through tangled grasses
howling out of tune for the forgotten masses
creaking signpost pointing bad directions
telephone poles making bad connections

CHORUS
Sun don't shine this time of year
moon won't move when the stars appear
earth won't curve till you straighten out your act
but you feel just like a freight train
when you're down the wrong track

three-D clouds dot the horizon
like letters fading in a magnifying glass
pavement sings in four part harmony
eagles stare as they sit by idly
buzzard buzz, bay windows moan
willows bend bracing for the snow
missed my turn, doesn't seem to matter
only one way home, its just around the corner

CHORUS

Sun shines through the clouds blood red
washboards in the road ahead
highway's gone...closed for repair
somewhere in the middle of anywhere
darkness falls just like a rug
cold creeps in just like a glove
fits tightly round tingling skin
where we just danced on a layer so thin

CHORUS
