CIA DEMO

Girl From North Country Demo

ATLANTIC CITY

Raton pass ain’t snowin today
It’s burning a hole in my heart
And if you hear the boys ask 
Tell them I’m coming home
Don’t tell them how far and how lost
For if Jesus relents
And hoping can do
Know that if I can you can too

I believe in nothing
I am born again
If I hurt you in leaving
It’s all in jest, my friend

Buffalo girl, stolen Indian name
She’ll kick up your chin with a look
But leave you for wanting and wanting so low 
Soon as the weather comes on

Lately come and lately go
If growing up means dying old 
None of that seems any good to me
If melting snow sees a summer sky
If my hobo heart stays still alive
I pray she’s got nothing on me

God wants me to see all my friends
He’ll lay them in your way
But only if you push and push a bit hard
Will you find all the smiles he wants

On April 8, 2013, Silver Jews singer David Berman, who had retired from making music in 2009, was the inaugural guest in a new speaker series on ethics and resistance at Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York. It was one of a handful of rare public appearances by Berman during the more than 10 years between the end of the Silver Jews and the rise of Purple Mountains. This is an audience recording of his speech. RIP DCB. 

For more information on the event, here is the press release Macaulay Honors College sent out in February 2013 to promote it: https://macaulay.cuny.edu/press/Berman_Release.pdf
