Charlevoix

"Long ago" is just a whisper

From the eaves and the pines

To the rumble-wheels once bearing

Endless fortune from the mines;

Still the night is for the taking

When the day was barely warmer,

And the girls who hurry by

Cross laughing at the corner

But they all go

Charlevoix, they all go.

The foothills and the carriage

Keep a secret, if you wonder,

And push from right behind you

As you stoop to pass under

The marker that you dropped

By the bluff where you show her

The ending of a season

And the place to cross over...

But they all go

Charlevoix, they all go.

It might be none or any one of us

Who stay to see this through,

Who pulls a coat in closer

And who gives his arm to you;

But who of us wouldn't follow

From the dusty hallway

Into the early afternoon

Which of us hasn't always...?

And they all go

Charlevoix, they all go.

This is my single most favorite album of all time. Henry has moved far away from this style and that of other excellent records like Short Man's Room and Kindness of the World. He's won acclaim for newer work of his own and as producer. But I'll treasure the stuff that he no longer plays. Thanks for posting it.
