Jesus baby
you can’t take nothing with you
when we go
up above West Texas
you landed and
called the desert your home
Overtures of bible verses
the summer is hotter than hell
a cryptic message
that tells a whole other story
you called this state your home
but the common folk heard you wrong
you might shout
but they will not be heard
so you up and moved to Austin
and you brought that holy ghost
to the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt
Pretty baby
I won't take nothing with me
when I go
up to the otherside of town
we're starting to
call each other our own
Echoes of a shadow from
a story of last nights dream
I love to hear the reaches
of your mind
You called this state your home
long before I'd come along
but you I found
cause Texas is a magic word
you grew up right here in Austin
you were born with the holy ghost
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt
There is something in the presence
that you bring
I can't explain
there is something flowing through
the heart of this city
I'm feeling good
and you are too
and it's all because of you
I'm seeing Texas from
the heaven's point of view
We call this state our home
where the summer is extra long
and where we shout
so the wilderness inside is heard
we are lovers here in Austin
where we praise the holy ghost
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
