lyrics

When you pass all them pilgrims on the way to San Antone
Feel the wind on your skin and the bend in your bone
Don't pay twice for silver stay away from their gold
Don't think twice for sabbath, say grace and go home

Proceed to the trumpet
Take head of its tone
Let the tear on your cheek
Blaze a path of its own
Remember the verses, sing em all in a row

When you pass all them pilgrims on the planes of oaklahom
Say blessings for passage, safe paths should they roam
Say blessings for baggage for it’s all overthrown
In the ground we feed all of them seeds that we’ve sewn

Ovoid talk of missions, be mindful of tone
be able to ditch all them things that you own
remember the verses, sing em all in a row

When you Pass all them pilgrims and you're feeling all alone
Remember that water can soften a stone
the cracks that you slipped through, and the loves that you've known
in the ground we feed all of them seeds that we've sewn

about

The New Thoreaus San Francisco, California

"The New Thoreaus are one of the few bands that can appeal to a crowd full of traditionalists AND folks who like a little something different. Think Tom Waits meets NOLA's Preservation Hall Jazz Band."--Mike Bond, The Bottleneck Cafe Radio Show
