about

Riding my bicycle to Princeton, I found myself inside a moment of clarity. The ride stopped being work. Even the shitty weather no longer mattered. I was on my bike and I was flying!

lyrics

An hour to go ‘till the front desk phones, the night still hasn’t ended yet.
It’s dark and cold, I’m feeling old, I was warm when I went to bed.
Watertight, I’ll see the light begin to look over the road.
Rolled & packed, hung on the racks, then rolling east towards the orange glow.

This page insists I have missed a turn a mile or so back.
I’m in luck, I see a mail man, truckin’ over and I ask.
Maybe you know of Valley Road, tell me am I at all nearby?
Up ahead and to the left, he says and looks up at the cloudy sky.

The sun is high, the winds, they were dying out a little for a while.
But now it’s colder on this shoulder and I’m riding on for miles
Straight on the line, and it's all mine, I’m off the ride, I know the way
Chipped and faded, places aged, it keeps the cracks at bay:

The rain is back, my maps are overfolded
I think I know where I am now and I've got hours to go.
The rain is back, directions blurred and soaked.
I'm heading east and at the very least I've got hours to go.
