lyrics

LEAVING RIVER ROAD
Leaving River Road, I leave the love the river’s owed
But the river overflowed
And I wonder who will remember
Ooh, I remember
The winters we had here, though our lives were so austere
We held what we had dear
Oh we held them, oh how we held them
Ooh, I remember
How we grew a winter rose, and the Saugatucket froze
But now it flows and flows
To the ocean, but does it remember
Ooh, I remember
When we walked the old sea wall and the snow would fall and fall
Now there’s no snow here at all
In the darkness of December
Ooh, I remember
Now I don’t want to see you grieve on this foggy Christmas Eve
And you know I don’t want to leave
And I hope that you will remember
Ooh, I remember
And so I’m walking toward the dawn, to set a winter rose seaborne
To, for a while, the waves, adorn
That the ocean might remember
Ooh, like we remember

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
