"New Auburn" lyrics - BIG RED MACHINE
[Intro: Aaron Dessner, & Jonathon Low]
You rolling Jon?
Rolling
[Verse 1: Anais Mitchell]
Every time I drive up on fifty-three
I'm seeing sideways up ahead of me
There's little lakes, there's little fountains
There's little molehills made out of mountains
There's little prayers that I perceive, ah
[Verse 2: Anais Mitchell]
Every time I drive up on fifty-four
It goes past Mick's and Dick's general store
There goes the signal, it's dropped for miles
There goes the static at the top of the dial
[Chorus: Anais Mitchell, Anais Mitchell & Justin Vernon]
Every wild plan screamed it
By only a hundred years, a way-man
Who am I to witness, who am I to see
Who am I to notice which way a tree
Falling alone fall silently
[Verse 3: Anais Mitchell]
Half a mile later, just past the sign
There's a Winnebago, an Econoline
I smell the lake on up aways
I know the exit and the parking place
[Chorus: Anais Mitchell & Justin Vernon]
We used to swim out in the sun
We were swimming out there under heaven
We were too young to have been unforgiven
[Verse 4: Anais Mitchell, Anais Mitchell & Justin Veron]
Who are you to listen, who are you to care?
Just someone who knows me from anywhere
Where do we come from out of thin air?
I hear you whisper in the back of my hair
