about

Words/Music ©2017 Ben Parent

lyrics

Trucks on the highway on a rainy old Monday
Shipping their wares to some foreign city
All I know is that I used to like dancing
Now C major is just any old key

It used to be that we were much closer
Our lives had a steadfast opacity
Once in a while I can get myself going now
But that big picture's getting harder to see

Some think marriage the most perfect union
I say careful it can it you in three
One part hope, one part abandon
One part eventuality

Maybe it's time we got going
Try the geographic cure
'Cause I'm not down with sticking around
Beating that horse
Just to be sure

See those windmills spinning in the foothills
Green grass and tarmac stretching out to the Bay
Let's make the most of this quotidian folly
Hold each other like its all okay

Jubilee...
All is forgiven
All is not lost
Jubilee...
