Name: Close to Home
Duration: P00H06M17S
Description: This is a song about travelling home at night by bike. I can understand why the romantic movement must have been overpowered by whatever they noticed. You feel mighty small, especially when you're travelling alongside the main road with other traffic. In the song you see tiny eyewinks to William Wordsworth, Gregory Corso, and Theodore Roethke.

lyrics

Close To Home

A soul comes to life
when the city starts drowsing
Teasing the tar
Watching my wheel spin
The road has no will
But the need to go on
And it’s pressing me on
Pressing me on

It was 200 years
On a road without bikes
That a poet decided that
The moon was a ship
It was 50 odd years
On a road full of rocks
That a poet decided
On a rest

Close to home

Mazed broken ground
Like rain in my face
When the light flares it up
From the surface
But the drizzle is soft
Like a diligent mood
That knows how to keep
pressing me on

I think in the 90s
Not owning a car
One poet decided to steal one
And knock people down
I’ve only a bike
And I've nothing to cure, so
This poet decided
To go lonely roads
