about

The end of an era

lyrics

You go down to the creek to cool your eyes
I follow down to the creek to warm my mind
A stalker of sorts you say you are
A stalker of sorts I may be
There's pennies in the water, lights in the trees
Pennies cast broadside for pilgrims like you and me

You taught me the life, you taught me to view
The world under a microscope, under my shoe
Now the present's drowning consciousness
Each moment's flowing clear
How beautiful this life is I'm singing, oh Annie

And I wanna live inside your prose
A reflection in your lenses; the couplet that you chose
And if now were then, would we have been?
Yeah if now were then,
Could I have found you hidin round that cool creek's bend?

I like to think, that I woulda coulda been
Like a little ole part of your everyday
The late night cracklin of your embers
Or the chinking of your cabin walls,
Your dog-eared page or your favorite refrain

And I wanna live inside your prose
A reflection in your lenses, the allusion you chose
And if now were then, would we have been?
Yeah if now were then, would we have been
Well now ain't then, yeah now ain't then
Yeah now is now, and we are far
Oh but annie you're still the ink inside my pen
