Broken Barrows Lyrics by Timothy Monger

The New Britton Sound

2017

City bones
Cope with the humdrum
Only when they jangle upstate do they know
Narrow roads (chimney smoke)
The torch of moonlight
Shining through the ribs of pine and scarlet oak

Never once
In sixty summers
Did he ramble out beyond the bricks of home
So catch a ride (sail the tide)
Through broken barrows
Away from man’s light on this trolley of lost souls

Far from home
In shadow country
Crackling feet blanched by moon on top of stone
White and lithe (late at night)
Retreating softly
Across the hearth of land to spend a new year’s night
