lyrics

Two Dollar Town Sara Milonovich

Got a million-dollar view of a two-dollar town
The streets are safe at midnight ‘cause there’s no one else around
Days crawl by like weeds taking over in the hollows
At summer’s end the children fly away with the swallows
Is it a long time gone? Can you ever go home?

Smoky old red diesel, and days too long to measure
Fine dust in the driveway, always talking about the weather
Breathin’ in the evening dew settling on the windrows
Silent at the sunset, don’t waste words on what you know
It wasn’t that long ago; wonder who’s next to go

We all gotta pick a hill to die on
A mountaintop to make a stand
Rows of clay you can rely on
Or a paper tombstone in your hand

The lights were still on in the dairy barn
They found him in his Ford with a needle in his arm
I wish I’d thought to ask him if his war was ever won
He never talked about it even when the chores were done
We’re all fault lines; we’re all dying all the time

Maybe there’s mercy in no decision left to make
The last line that you sign on is still the deepest cut to take
Surrender your kingdom to a stranger in the fall
Who stares out at the cornfields and sees nothing there at all
This is the season of tall grass; but like all things must pass

We all gotta pick a hill to die on
A hill of sand or a hill of corn
But if you want to get away with murder
Just make a killin’ a million times more

Now I always get a heartache driving past the headlands
Listening to the radio instead of the rain
I wish those golden fields hadn’t flown away so far
I’d trap all those glowing nights safely in a glass jar

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovan

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
