The Subway

from V by Leslie Nuss

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I made this bookmark from an old book, then I hand wrote two lines from two songs on V and laminated it. Ribbon color might vary, and also found this nice vintage gold ribbon for the bag that has been hand screened. I made the ceramic eye and you get the full deal-the ep, the sticker, coloring page, temp. tattoo. Want it signed? Just say the word (and to whom, if you'd like it personalized...)

about

I used to have this dream...for many years, actually. Always in some busy way station, my version of downtown Manhattan very specific. Lots of traveling.

Kyle got me to rearrange the song a bit, which allowed for the sort of howling at the end--easy to picture a coyote (in my mind)

The actual subway sounds and the keyboard part really make it for me. This song has one of my favorite verses--"Ten long years..." that's the one.

lyrics

I feel the daylight closing in
I feel the night slip from my skin
I feel the light of day begin
I feel this life turn to within

Let me sleep
Let me sleep
I‘m still dreaming of New York

I’m a ghost in my own dream
Things are not what they seem
Run through the changes that I read
There is always a new scene

Trying to find
Trying to find
A way to go back home

Take the subway down
Take it downtown
Take the subway down
Take it downtown

Ten long years upon the wall
Relive the days before the fall
I steered my ship to the siren’s call
Now I’m racing down the hall

What I’m looking for
What I’m looking for
Pieces of my broken shell

Take the subway down
Take it downtown
Take the subway down
Take it downtown

Take the subway down
Take it downtown
Take the subway down
Take it downtown
