The Revelator and The Twilight

And on another note, I just love sad songs that tell stories of heartbreak.
Here's a good one. The imagery is strong.

The Revelator and the Twilight - Dariustx

From the muddy banks of the Trinity
To your folks back porch on the southern hill
And as the revelator promised to me
You're out there in the twilight still
Just waiting in the twilight still

Oh the long march grass
In the setting sun
Ankles bent under long skirts
When the preacher nods
All the ladies sigh
At their men in their short sleve shirts
And I see lightning bugs
And cherry wine
And your grandma's wedding dress
But since I'm 15 hundred miles away
Lord knows I can only guess

From the muddy banks of the trinity
To your folks back porch on the southern hill
And as the revelator promised to me
You're out there in the twilight still
Just waiting in the twilight still

There'd be horseshoes and bonfire light
Oh and can you still see stars?
When you were making plans
Did it take you back?
Did your hands drift towards your scars?
I see your friends cleaned up
And smiling big
Think they ever though of me?
And I can see you too
Now whos that with you
Out under the magnolia tree?

From the muddy banks
Of the trinity
To your folks back porch
On the southern hill
And as the revelator
Lied to me
You're nowhere in the twilight still
Just ghosts out in the twilight still
You're long gone from the twilight still
Just ghosts out in the twilight still
