Folks

TRACK NOTES
Strangely enough given the title, the verse melody of this song came to me in a dream, in which I was watching a stranger play it on a guitar. I woke up and found the words (and the chorus) in a day or so, starting with the very first line. It's about a couple's journey. Thanks to Irish artist Martin Gale for his kind permission to use an image of his painting "Couple".

LYRICS
I will stay when the weather is warm
And drink to your health, far from the storm
In the sun, we’ll dance really slow
And sit on the cliff where the green river rolls

CHORUS:
But don’t ever dream
You will find
Me walking away
When life is unkind
Don’t ever dream
You will see
Me turning my back
When you’re down on your knees

If you find a mouse in your bed
I’ll go for a ride, and free it instead
When the cold and the wind and the rain
Are shaking the house, and you are in pain

CHORUS
Instrumental

I will stay when life is a bore
And I’m much too old to laugh anymore,
When the light is starting to fade
You’ll sing me a song ’bout that plan that we made:

I will stay when the mist on the lake
Is lifting at dawn and there’s coffee to make
We will sail in a crimson canoe,
Away from the world, and bid it adieu
Away from the world, and bid… it… adieu.

/CAVALRY/ LYRICS


Living a hopeful dream
Standing in the caves they’re deep 
I’ll be coming
I’ll coming around
Again

Fighting with a mystery
Working all hours 
Delivery
I’m owed 
more than this 

No one’s even at the show 
Flowers on the tables
Alone 
Not picked for
One another 

Every little while you’ll be
Out there 
running with 
the cavalry
Once in a while you’ll see
You’re out there
Running ahead 
of the cavalry

No one’s even at the show 
Flowers on the tables
Alone 
Can’t be picked for one another 

Every little while you’ll See
Out there running with the cavalry
One in a while you’ll be
Running ahead of that cavalry
You’ll see

Every little while you’ll see
You’re out there 
running with 
the cavalry
Once in a while you’ll be
Out there
Running ahead 
of the
Cavalry

Mirage
By Christina Rossetti

The hope I dreamed of was a dream,
Was but a dream; and now I wake
Exceeding comfortless, and worn, and old,
For a dream’s sake.

I hang my harp upon a tree,
A weeping willow in a lake;
I hang my silenced harp there, wrung and snapt
For a dream’s sake.

Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart;
My silent heart, lie still and break:
Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed
For a dream’s sake.
