Cicada Song cover art
/

lyrics

Sitting by the lakeside, letting my eyes drift into the night
That old cicada song like a long lost and forgotten lullaby
I could die a happy man underneath the grass and sand and sky
If you find my skeleton a-smilin', just leave me where I lie

There's a silver light that shines just behind my fragile flesh and skin
It binds me to the earth and stars and guides me like a father from within
When I'm feeling low I ride my woes up where the air is cold and thin
Just to get a better view of everywhere I've gone and haven't been

When my final mortal thoughts are smothered by eternal burning fire
The last sound that I'd like to hear, the heavy breath of someone I desire
There's no sweeter way to go, ain't no better way to bite the wire
I can only hope my luck is up when it's my time to expire

about

Vagabondage is a musical act from a past that never happened – one full of the hard roads and the dark roots of Americana. ... more Featuring the barking mad vocals of John Flaw, the whiskey crooning of Emchy, and the thump thwack of Hans, Vagabondage will usher you into a realm of hindsight prophecies, starlit lovers, and the timeless ghosts of a thousand empty bottles. less
