Dead Man’s Curve Lyrics by Cheri Knight

The Northeast Kingdom

1998

[Intro]
I made an appearance from out of the ether
Smiling at me you said Are you there
Isn't there somewhere you want me to take you again?
Hey
[Verse]
From up above I saw him lying in pieces
I hear the sun groan and crying
I didn't know that I was trying to hold you
'Til they pried my hands away
Far below they gathered around us
I watched them breathing back the life into you
I knew I would not make it
So lightly away I flew
[Verse]
Past the clouds there was a slipstream of angels
I took to thе air and I wandered
I saw great ocеans and the top of a mountain
Searching for your memory
Cars with headlights on in a line
The weeping was all I could remember
I'd have given anything to hear you laugh and say
[Chorus]
Here we go, round the bend one more time
Here we go, never learn, never mind
Oh, the streets in this town run in straight lines
Won't you take me for another ride around the dead man's curve?
[Bridge]
They used to say we could have anything if we put our minds to it
They didn't know they were just saying something they heard
We never listened, we tried our luck on the curve
[Solo]
[Verse]
Some day I'll show you all the places I've been to
Don't get discouraged in the meantime
Just because you grew up on Main Street
Doesn't mean you'll never fly
There are roads that go on forever
I wonder will you ride beside me again?
It would stop the aching to hear you laugh and say
[Chorus]
Here we go, round the bend one more time
Here we go, never learn, never mind
Oh the streets in this town run in straight lines
Won't you take me on another ride around the dead man's curve?
[Outro]
Just feel the wheel spin in your hands
Before we know it we'll be angels
Hey
