lyrics

washin'

i watched the smoke, leave your mouth
curl around, i watched your body leave the ground
as you sang, sweetly to God
you rang, like a train headed south

and i was thinking about washin'
and i was thinking abut dreamin'
and i was thinking about letting you go.

i watched the snow, fall from the sky
that was orange and gold, and turned the world white
i spun around, with my feet on the ground
and i sang, sweetly to the cane

and i was thinking about washin'
and i was thinking abut dreamin'
and i was thinking about letting you go.

have these days been rampant, or have i been wasting my precious time on chasing you
time it just slips by, between my hands
and i'm running quickly to catch up with the sun

i've been waiting for you to take off your shoes
and dance with me down this highway of dreams
just cause there's a road there, don't mean you gotta take it.
so come on baby, and dance with me

and i was thinking about washin'
and i was thinking abut dreamin'
and i was thinking about letting you go.

For Whippoorwill, there's little separation between the soul and the scenery-- heartbreak is a ripped floodplain and longing, an unbroken expanse of sky. Non-traditional banjo, long harmonica riffs, distorted guitar, and three-part harmonies that scorch, soar, haunt accordingly. ... more
