LYRICS:
There's a cloud coming through my window
There's a corn husk tied round my banjo
In the hallway bright and plain clothed
She's come home to steal her rainbows
She was born in a lighthouse stairwell
Ghosts of the Great Lakes declared their angel
Would lead the freight trains to where the land parts
And bring them home to see their sweethearts
And when the clouds came,
Oh there were rainbows!
She was long like a union rifle
She was cold as a motel bible
When we kissed 'neath the moonlight's halo
She'd come home to steal her rainbows
(c.2001 | BMI)
Brablec Farms
(Timothy Monger)
Pronounced "Bray-blek", this song is about a massive life-purging road side yard sale held last summer at this farm in Lenawee County, Michigan.
Timothy Monger - lead vocals, guitars, keys, backing vocals
James Christopher Monger - mandolin
Gregory McIntosh - lead guitar, backing vocals
Scott McClintock - bass
Fido Kennington - drums, tambourine
LYRICS:
The flotsam of a life
Sighing in the yard.
Broken antique stools
From an ice cream parlor,
Old receiver
In a nest of wire.
Haven't seen these friends
In quite a little while.
June sun shining
On the passing cars.
What they've just glanced at
Took a lifetime to acquire.
I was up late pining
Over my old guitar
Couldn't pull the trigger, priced it up too far.
You said goodbye
To freer times.
Leaving one by one
Like dandelions
Loose summertime dresses
From your Deadhead days,
Rocking wooden cradle
That an uncle made.
What once defined us
In another time
Become roadside diamonds
For someone to find.
