about

This song was recorded at the request of Will Schaff who created several album covers for Jason Molina and also made the cover for my album Scatter the Remains. Jason Molina was an incredible talent and a big influence on my writing, work ethic and aesthetic.

lyrics

Long Desert Train (Jason Molina)

You used to love a lot of things
You used to love talking
This you never told me about
If it's what your eyes were saying

I already figured it out
I could just tell it was bad
I couldn't tell how bad

You never took off your shades
And you stayed like that for days
I guess your pain never weakened
Your cool blood started burning
Scorching most of us in the flames

But there are things you can't change
There are things you can't change
You called that the curse of a human's life
That you couldn't change

Said you'd never be old enough - Or young enough
Tall enough - Or thin enough

Or smart enough - Or brave enough rich enough
Pretty enough Strong enough - Good enough
Well you were to us - You wanted silence by itself

Just the word - You wanted peace by itself
Just to learn - There were things you couldn't change

You got the dull pounding rain
You got the last car in the long desert train
You almost made it
You almost made it again
