lyrics

Brother, I invite you to manifest this song
as a castle here unfolding where no castle should belong
A balustrade of stanza hands a chorus to the sun,
and the brotherhood of sawmills sings along

Tower nine to golden lion...do you read me, golden lion?
Rust on railway / vines on causeway / canyon rising / daylight dying.

River don't remember who you are
but lions live in castles round your heart
If you don't believe me I've got pictures of it all

No Monongahela here, just rivers made of gold
A colonnade comes running where the Allegheny rolled
Don't ask no hunter plainly where his quarry lopes along,
cause if the question is Ohio, then the answer shoots a gun

And I'm climbing up these canyons here to find my songs again
But I'm starting off unsteady here in Introductionland
cause I dropped the verses, chorus, and the fade out on the floor
but I am bound to try my damnedest now to make it like before

All hands out to Ohio / godspeed, Allegheny
No, I'd never surrender no Monongahela to thee
