Monongahela Valley

from Running out of Time by Tim Vitullo

/

lyrics

I’ve been kicking around,
For three decades or so.
Searching for the new sound,
In my car’s stereo.

But those four-inch speakers can’t play,
A song worth their weight in gold.
So I keep spinning the dial,
Left arm tanning out the driver’s window.

(Chorus)

Send my body,
Sailing down the river.
When I pass The Point,
Toss a quarter in the fountain bowl.

There’s no other way,
To escape to feeling.
The Monongahela Valley will swallow you whole.

(Bridge)

Thunder, crashing on the night, rolls right along.
Even rain can’t stand it here for too long.

Tar-laden hands they shape,
Manipulate our only course.

Hope broken down behind,
A city hell bent on divorce.

(Chorus)

Send my body,
Sailing down the river.
When I pass The Point,
Toss a quarter in the fountain bowl.

There’s no other way,
To escape to feeling.
The Monongahela Valley will swallow you whole.

I won’t ever be,
Close to satisfied.
Until I feel the heat,
Of a Fayette sunrise.

Put a little color in my cheeks,
And make me close my eyes.
Imagine dancing in the fields,
Winds rushing through the rye.

(Chorus)

Send my body,
Sailing down the river.
When I pass The Point,
Toss a quarter in the fountain bowl.

There’s no other way,
To escape to feeling.
The Monongahela Valley will swallow you whole.
