Macksville-Datson Hughes

Macksville - Datson Hughes Pray that they don't get stuck in macksville Unless that's where they plan to make their stand It's halfways to paradise And a crap piece of land And twenty years later she came back for the winter That's how the story starts but it's not the beginning Don't set your sale on no travelling heart man You can see him in the park playing with the frozen children The radio soft with a jesse love song If it's cold in the car outside it's freezing So you make a list a list of all reasons You got 'em all lined up in a clipboard fashion That's before he started praying Drinking the three at one tree Numbed by the numbers Before he figured me What went wrong was a misunderstanding Suddenly the whole town knew Losing heart or losing faith Neither is easy to do When confronted by their demons Got to rue this blasted hill Concede instead it's better for my head To just admit that I am human Took their shame off to the forest And wrought it there a golden cage And from the darkened woods and caves Unwound some damage days The valley now rings with songs and laughter As if that stream could run uphill Migrating birds fly to their seasons Turning through magnetic will Twenty years later she walked into the future And held that moment still in mind Grandchildren now again are waiting For her to hold them one more time See him in the park playing with the frozen children See him in the dark playing with the frozen children
