about

"May the road rise to meet you."

Written by Andrew Nieporent, 2022.

lyrics

I don't drink enough to observe dry January,
so it's January now, and I'm drunk
(ONE,TWO,THREE,FOUR!)
--and the train from Bay is always running late
and the Interstate is artery clogging and the
curbside is mostly made of brine and the
path to town is blood pressure raising,

so I lay my bones on Melody Hill.
The sky was new it was a simple tune,
and we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
with lovely Melody Hill.

Now work was the curse of the drinking classes
as she took off her glasses, her hair curling down.
From my belt to her clasp, to the small of her back,
it was open and honest and
easy,

so I lay my bones on Melody Hill.
The sky was new it was a simple tune,
and we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
with lovely Melody Hill.
And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
with lovely Melody Hill.
