lyrics

Do you ever think about
the time we snuck away to see
Niagara Falls together
just you and me

My parents thought I'd gone
fishing with my friends
Mom and Dad I went to love my girl
for the weekend

I took a Greyhound to Scranton
met you there halfway
You were waiting in the parking lot
with a smile, I ran and kissed your face

We headed north in your
shitty red Chevrolet
You put your hand on my leg
I-81 through the driving rain

"I've never seen it rain like this," you said
"Water in the air could bring you down, with it...
Don't you think..."

We stopped for dinner
at your house in Syracuse
Rain falling harder, wind blow
it isn't safe to move

"Let's just stay here tonight,"
you said, your eyes on the floor
and whispered something nervous
I couldn't make out a word

You led the way up the stairs, to your room
Couldn't wait to touch your skin, see you swoon

Now I don't recall exactly what we said
I stepped out for some air on your fire escape
You came up from behind put your hands on my side
and pushed with all your might
And I fell down alongside the raindrops
to your driveway
I fell so hard...

Last thing I heard was your voice call from above
"That's for the lies you told me, all the dirty lies you told"

But I never gave you, a single dishonest word.
Oh what's one more white one?
Already paid for something
Oh what's one more white one?

about

Great Elk New York

The New Yorker says - “The Brooklyn rockers Great Elk display the control and restraint of a band with deep chemistry, as they sway gracefully between gentle ballads and mid-tempo indie-rock tunes.”

That's cool.
