lyrics

-- Mama's Mourning --

Mama you ain't gotta worry no more
I'm cleaning all the m and ms
I set there on the bathroom floor
And the carpet too has been vacuumed
It's true to form

But I don't like the way y'all hang around while you're looking at me
Shadows hang upon our branches
These are frozen trees
They climb between
All we willed is all we'll be

The sunny side is our muddy side
The muddy side is our sunny side
The sunny side is our muddy side
On my side of the morn

I pocketed gravel these old marching stones
Are stowed inside, under winter's time
They set underneath your toes
The river flowed, it ebbs and bows
All is to be removed

The sunny side is our muddy side
The muddy side is our sunny side
The sunny side is our muddy side
On my side of the room
When will something boom?

But Mama, she must have told me all this before
Maybe my dad was weeping, my brother's dream
To set firmly in the door
The wind it too
Is pouring through our day once more

Where the sunny side is our muddy side
The muddy side is our sunny side
The sunny side is our muddy side
On my side of the morn
I can't tell cob from corn

Mama you ain't gotta worry, nor mourn
I'm spilling all the beans and eggs that go in our recipes and lore
There's nothing more
A silent tune
we played on knives and forks

Sunny side is our muddy side
The muddy side is our burning pride
The sunny side is our muddy side
On my side of the morn

The sunny side is our muddy side
The muddy side is our burning pride
The sunny side is our muddy side
On my side of the room
Now could something boom!

about

Cedar Teeth Portland, Oregon

Cedar Teeth hails from the Cascade foothills, where the sound of saws cut through the Oregon woods and the lights of Portland set the western horizon aglow. Between the five members of the band emerges a fusion of guitars, banjo, keys and trombone, propelled by bass and drums, while vocal harmonies weave through the music. A vision of NW roots rock that is immersive and rustically melodic. ... more
