lyrics

All my sisters are dancing upstairs
You can listen to their laughter through the night
Hear them planning their summer affairs
While outside the moths are diving in shallow pools of light
A sleeping bag in the crawlspace
And smoke blown in a ring
You’d better call Marie
She’s missing everything

We are pushing a hundred down the shore
Your corsage is rusting in a paper cup
Kick my heels off and leave them by the door
The horses on the stairs always wake Mother up
Some nights come in so clearly
Like songs on a radio
Some nights get blown to smithereens
Who knows where all those pieces go?

I’ll meet you at the top of the ferris wheel while Dreamland crumbles below
Everything that you remember is as good as real
But you can’t take it with you when you go

All my sisters are still dancing, though the song is softer now
And that old house has since been razed to the ground
You’re still winding through my memories and breaking like a bough
I’m the last of the immortal girls around

I’ll meet you at the top of the ferris wheel while Dreamland crumbles below
Everything that you remember is as good as real
But you can’t take it with you when you go

And I don’t know if my soul will see the wind
I just hope that I see you again

about

Matthew Connor image

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
