lyrics

In a house we’d never seen
A town somewhere between
We packed up all your things
All your boxes and your books
We packed them up for good
We gave the rest to charity
We held the service there in your town
And strangers came around
Offering condolences
We scattered ashes in an early frost
And watched them all get lost
In the fields and fences

Seven summers
Six months and twenty days
I still can’t find a place that’s far enough away
Flesh of your flesh
Your restless spirit haunts my bones
Your blood runs through my veins
That’s nothing I can change
In seven summers

Mama said we’d understand
You weren’t the kind of man
To have a family
What frightened you the most
The demons or ghosts
Yeah, none of us could see
I’d like to think now you’re happy
Oh yeah, you’re flying free
Under bluer skies
Just when I think I’ve left you far behind
You’re still here sometimes
Looking through my eyes

Seven summers
Six months and twenty days
I still can’t find a place that’s far enough away
Flesh of your flesh
Your restless spirit haunts my bones
Your blood runs through my veins
That’s nothing I can change
In seven summers

Hold on, I can’t change
What’s in these veins, in seven summers
Yeah hold on, ‘cause I feel strange
What’s in these veins, in seven summers
Hold on, ‘cause I feel strange
Yeah hold on, ‘cause I can’t change
What’s in these veins, in seven summers
Yeah hold on, ‘cause I feel strange
What’s in these veins, in seven summers

Mustangs Of The West California

When Mustangs of the West appeared in the late 80s, they were immediately tagged as leaders of the new "cowpunk" brigade. Now, the band has reunited to pick up where they left off. Original members Sherry Rayn Barnett (lead guitar), Suzanna Spring (lead vocals/guitar) and Holly Montgomery (bass/vocals) are joined by Aubrey Richmond (fiddle/vocals) and Suzanne Morissette (drums/percussion/vocals). ... more
