Cafe on the Hill

Released March 5th, 2008

A comment on the internet made me mad. I decided to write this song to feel better about it. This one is for the people who have it 100% all figured out with absolute certainty, whichever side of the fence they may fall on.

* * * * * * *

Down in the valley, where the grass has stopped growing
In the empty open plain where you'll find no wind blowing
There lives an old man, just as sharp as a tack
He lives all alone in an old wooden shack

He's got all the answers, there isn't any doubt
There is no solution that he could live without
There's no need for wonder with brains like he's got
He's not even bothered by the things he's forgot

With all his explanations to fend off the fright
You can sure bet your britches he sleeps well at night
The darkness doesn't bother him, nor does old age
He always knows what to expect on the next page

The birds all have left him the clouds have gone by
The color has faded from the berries in his pie
He clings on so tightly to his answers so dear
Laying waste to the mysteries he can't stand to hear

He's been there forever, and forever he'll stay
If you're looking for an answer its your lucky day
Go see him if you want to, he loves his own kind
And please would tell him that I'm doing fine

La la, la la la la...

Here is my first take on the classic NIN song 'Hurt' in the style of Johnny Cash.  Loved that guy.  Thank you, David Pots, for teaching me to play the guitar parts (https://playsongnotes.com).  

PS. I did obtain mechanical rights through Easy Song Licensing.
