lyrics
This is what they call upstate
They’re gonna wonder how I found this place
But while I was here I couldn’t resist
Peeling away the magick and the myth
One lonely house on a hill
I’ve got a little time to kill
Don’t know why John suffered so bad
Just a few photographs
I’m sure they’re not that different from me and you
We had our circles, our hooded few
Snakes on the door and a bird on every sill
Just one lonely house on a hill
First a beautiful girl in white
Her gentle skin reflects the light
Tells me I’m expected, that I should be seen
By the one who’s lived inside my dreams
Oh Acre, Acre,
He carries us all
Oh Acre, Acre
Allows us to stand tall
His robe was long, his hair was short
Asked me if I liked the little place he’d bought
“I thought you’d look like Jesus,” was my retort
He said “Jesus wore his hair like mine, you know, before he got caught”
Oh Acre, Acre,
He carries us all
Oh Acre, Acre
Allows us to stand tall
The smells and the rooms
And the pictures and the feel
And the fading light outside and the offer of a meal
Then the miracle girls
And the entrance of their king
And the songs, and the beer
And the pills he brings
Oh Acre, Acre,
He carries us all
Oh Acre, Acre
Allows us to stand tall
