THE GHOST BENEATH THE LONESOME VIEW

from DOLOROSA (Fall & Winter 2013) by Bill Mallonee & The High Desert Freaks

lyrics

THE LONESOME VIEW words/music: bill mallonee

1. Ghosts 'tween the towers...of radio relay
small town am...along the interstate
there's a storm outside...and one inside, too
it's the ghosts beneath that lonesome view

2. It's the sweat and strain...born of the curse
an old tweed amp...oil-can reverb
never turning back but never breakin' through
it's the ghosts beneath that lonesome view

3.keep a little back...try to save some heart
It's all fools gold...around these parts
when the high desert...is bathed in blue moon
It's the ghosts beneath that lonesome view

4. pull the fader down...pour the whiskey out
you try & believe...in all you doubt
if the stones should speak...if the stars should shout
if the gardens bloom...after the drought

5. she may seem cruel...she may seem unkind
maybe love....was just a little blind
but, if she bestows a kiss...well, i won't refuse
It's the ghosts beneath that lonesome
beneath that lonesome
beneath that lonesome view
