Wilkes-Barre from Silent Days by Katie Von Schleicher

i went down to Wilkes-Barre
to see the mines, see the mines gone cold
and watch the old guys leisuring
on those god, god-forsaken roads
where the wincing afternoon
was hands, hands just passing coal
and the front porch of the house
held men, men been dropped of souls

i'll bring the man to meet you, honey
all that we got i'll give to you whole
he'll be beside me when i go
if that ain't love then what the hell do i know ?

i have prepared the will toward sky
as some to earth,
some to earth do
but that don't mean i've lost my might
i still feel the soil
of lying close to you

i'll bring the man to meet you, honey
all that we got i'll give to you whole
he'll be beside me when i go
if that ain't love then what the hell do i know ?

i'm saying thank you all the time
and i feel the pull
far beyond my mind
