lyrics

I fell in love with a girl back home
She said I wish, but I cannot go
Her mother told her dear
He’s a bad influence
She has my eyes and my spirit

Well I’ve always wished to father a child
To watch as they grow up and watch them retire
But as they grow
So does their mind
I do not wish them a mind of mine

It’s okay to get lost and it’s okay to dream
To get thrown in jail
For what you believe
But dear please know
Your mother was right
I don’t know how to raise a child

They would end up
Quite like me
Lost in heart on the stormy sea
Anchor please
My dear anchor quick
If you do not anchor we’re going to tip

And we will not fall to the rocks nor the waves
Just get lost in limbo
Washed away
We will not fall to the coral reef
Just get lost in limbo
Shipwrecked by the thief

Lost in limbo
Lost and shipwrecked

Now it’s okay to study the jungles tombs
Or die by the hands of your lovers bones
But dear please know
Your mother was right
I don’t know how to raise a child

That’s why I wish
To father an adult
To watch as they notice
Their life’s remote
They will have kids just to make it through
But I do not wish them the minds of me and you

Oh, I do not wish, I do not wish
Oh, I do not wish them the minds of me and you
Oh, I do not wish, I do not wish
Oh, I do not wish them the minds of me and you
Do not wish
No I do not wish
I do not wish them the minds of me and you

St. Vith

“Conjuring the kind of image-behind-the-veil kaleidoscopic trance of America’s first wave of psychedelic rock bands... St. Vith, forge the acid tones and bluesy stillness of yesteryear, happily searching the universe for that sacred ether of the mystical sixties…” – Christopher J. Harrington (Ithaca Times) ... more
