Writer's Minor Holiday

Album: Carried to Dust (2008)

  • Thumb tacks spread out
    Across your hometown state
    Hollow tree at half mast
    Wait until wintertime
    Leaves a paper trail a licorice plant that's overgrown

    Like a cabin in the woods on a minor
    Like a minor holiday

    Wool rich red plaid wolf
    Irish whiskey glass
    Here comes my fine bright haired lass
    Like a trash fire burning and burning it
    My heart could never right the words never fail

    Tucked under your cap and for a moment
    There's a stillness before the room spins again
    Minor holiday, spin it again
    Ride it out so you can tell

    Wasted on the weekend
    Making good time with my excuse
    Where the plot lines are like dead ends
    Floating in her eyes at the bottom of a well
    Floating in her eyes ride it out for a spell

    Minor holiday
    Transfer this weight
    Minor holiday
    Transfer this weight
    Going back and forth
    On a minor, minor holiday Writer/s: JOEY BURNS, JOHN CONVERTINO
