lyrics

Hey let’s take the long way down
to Peggy’s house
Get out of town on the country road
Bomb the hill
Away we go
To roam in a land of broken soul
More blues than rock and roll
So beautiful
When the water meets the tree line
‘Round the bend
Or how the light shines in...
to illuminate a darkness
Come before and again

Like wildfire in the gloaming
A low and steady burning
there’s some kind of hope here
in the hurting

Now through the woods
Watching buildings pass
A shadow lingers on the dirty glass
Of old motels and village bars
On the slow degrade of a broken heart
Over time
& a life spent in sorrow and defeat
From the solemn dreams of younger men
& the pretty girls in love them

Like wildfire in the gloaming
A low and steady burning
There’s some kind of hope here
In the hurting

They’re intertwined
The people & this place
The history in the soil
& the power of disgrace
As it rots away (rots away)
Like a curse
But washes in the lake
& blossoms in the dirt

I can see it
Plain & true
A darkness but the light shines through

I can feel it!
So can you
A darkness but the light shines through
Like wildfire in the gloaming
