The cat's meow : Queen of the fakes

Gillian Welch / David Rawlings - Time (The Revelator), 2001

Mis en ligne par evanthebarbarian

Darling, remember when you come to me

I'm the pretender and I, what I'm supposed to be

But who could know if I'm a traitor

Time's the Revelator

They caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride

The Fortune Lady came along, she walked beside

But every word seemed to date her

Time's the Revelator, the Revelator

Up in the morning, up and on the ride

Drive into Corning and all the spindles whine

And every day is getting straighter

Time's the Revelator, the Revelator

Leaving the valley, fucking out of sight

I'll go back to Cali where I can sleep out every night

And watch the waves and move the fader

Time's the Revelator, the Revelator

Queen of the fakes and imitators

Time's the Revelator

"She caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride" est une citation d'une chanson de Taj Mahal (1968). Katy, c'est le MKT, le chemin de fer Missouri-Kansas-Texas.
