about

Half way to paradise on the Pacific Highway, there is a misunderstanding. Pray that they don't get stuck in Macksville. Haunting trumpet line as sad a 24 hrs from Tulsa drives this song - the resolution with take your breath away.

lyrics

Pray that they don't get stuck in Macksville
unless that's where they plan to make their stand
It's halfways to paradise
and a crap piece of land

20 years later she came back for the winter
that's how the story starts but it's not the beginning
Don't set your sale on no travelling heart man
You can see him in the park playing with the frozen children

The radio soft with a Jesse love song
If it's cold in the car outside it's freezing
So you make a list, a list of all reasons
you got 'em all lined up in a clipboard fashion

That's before he started praying
drinking the three at one tree
numbed by the numbers
before he figured me

What went wrong was a misunderstanding
suddenly the whole town knew
Losing heart or losing faith
neither is easy to do

When confronted by their demons
got to rue this blasted hill
concede instead it's better for my head
to just admit that I am human

Took their shame off to the forest
and wrought it there a golden cage
and from the darkened woods and caves
unwound some damage days

The valley now rings with songs and laughter
as if that stream could run uphill
migrating birds fly to their seasons
turning through magnetic will

20 years later she walked into the future
and held that moment still in mind
grandchildren now are still waiting
for her to hold them one more time

See him in the park playing with the frozen children
See him in the dark playing with the frozen children
