lyrics

"Thursday Afternoon, July 16"

it was raining hard
i’m on the L.I.E.
on a thick and muddy summer
thursday afternoon, july 16

driving along
trying to get back home
i’ve got tickets to the show
with my baby on a blanket
in the meadow

then what does my wandering eye see
but a flash, a flash in front of me
the one from that crazy dream
the one i hoped i’d never see

and i cried
when it came to me
this is the day the music died
thursday afternoon, july 16

red lights hot and blue lights cold
i wonder how things happen in this world
red lights summer and blue lights snow
i’ll remember this moment
when it’s my turn to go

all my life’s a circle
sun rise, sun down

The Bargain New Haven, Connecticut

A bargain was struck with the devil and each other to write, record, and perform the songs we lasso while sitting around the kitchen table.
