blue mountain haze © 2020 brian granse

verse
the sun’s coming up over the ridge
blue mountain haze burning thin
there’s a tragedy on the horizon
and that’s how it’s always been

you sat there watching the dust
just cover your town
now nothing shines and the walls are peeling thin
a union sticker fades upon an empty tin
gone the black streaks under your eyes
still a scar across your chin

your father left each night for the winding hills
sports radio hummin’ beneath the road
the owl shift turns the night
into someone else’s gold
burned for steel at the end of a rail
in some town you’ll never know

chorus
scr-ping the long wall
no sun upon your back
kerosene life lost in a sea of black
you can push hard
when you’re bound to protect
when everything’s gone you let it all to heck

verse
the campaign signs have you looking for ghosts
in four more years they’ll come ‘round again
knockin’ on plywood doors in a town on government checks
lining the sides of the highway
with letters and lies in the ditch

ghost and myth hang all around us
we lean to faith in the days we limp
a preacher knows to speak
to the empty eye in the room
a desperate heart will fall for you
don’t matter if you’re true

chorus
the writing was on the long wall
before the company’s letterhead
a midnight drive and then you never went back
there ain’t no god, no love, no president
to give you any more but heartbreak
to the still of your town’s breath

verse
the sun’s going down over the ridge
blue mountain haze closing in
there’s a tragedy on the horizon
comin’ round again
