Hemlock St. 02:55
I'm walkin' all the way from San Anton' To Birmingham To see your pretty face my darlin' Hold your fair white hand Juliet, she's a-screamin' in my ear Tellin' me, "Go to Hemlock St., my little dear." A summer night is hot and long There's one thing I know for sure, you are my home I'll do your dishes, my honey babe Until your sink runs dry I don't mind just what your thinking pretty mama I'll give it my best try You call me up, on your telephone Tellin' me, "My darlin', I hate it all alone" A summer night is hot and long There's one thing I know for sure, you are my home

Well my Brother, he's with the Painter He's with my maker So witty and wise Starry night cities, blue lilacs they see Rooms simple and clean So pretty and nice They lay colors as thick as snowfall As heavy as all you want So witty and wise Spendin' the summertime, drinkin' that turpentine Show me yours, show you mine So ptretty and nice My Brother and the Painter drift so pretty Their hearts melt down into the city And the blood it rushes through Into the avenue Let them take you So witty and wise Let them hold you So pretty and nice

I wish I's a mole in the ground I wish I's a mole in the ground If I's a mole in the ground I'd tear this mountain down I wish I's a mole in the ground My Candy wants a nine dollar shawl My Candy wants a nine dollar shawl I come over the hill With a forty dollar bill Said, "Baby, where you been so long?" Well, I've been in the bin so long I've been in the bin so long I've been in the bin With the rough and rowdy men Said, "Baby, where you been so long?" I don't like no railroad men No, I don't like no railroad men For a railroad man Will kill you if he can And drink up your blood like wine I wish I's a lizard in the spring I wish I's a lizard in the spring If I's a lizard in the spring I could hear my darlin' sing Sayin', "Baby, where you been so long?" My Candy, let your hair hang down My Candy, let your hair hang down Let your hair hang long And your bangs come rollin' down My Candy, let your hair hang down

about

Recorded in an attic apartment in downtown Ann Arbor, The Swimming Hole Days acts as a sonic remembrance of younger years. Children with hearts and innocence. Days of sacred nothingness, lakes, and Michigan Skies. Days in the garden, long before the expulsion.
