This song is #1 on my personal Solstice soundtrack-- lyrical poetry with themes of creation, death, rebirth, transformation. Plus its got a Celtic vibe :) thought Id share. (Lyrics below) OMAHA (Counting Crows) Start tearing the old man down Run past the heather and down to the old road Start turning the grain into the ground Roll a new leaf over In the middle of the night theres an old man Treading around in the gathered rain Hey mister if you want to walk on water Would you drop a line my way [Chorus:] Omaha Somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters Its the heart that matters more I think youd better turn your ticket in And get your money back at the door Start threading the needle Brush past the shudder that slides through the cold room Start turning the wool across the wire Roll the new life over In the middle of the night theres an old man Threading his toes through a bucket of rain Hey mister if you want to walk on water Youre only going to walk all over me [Chorus] Omaha Somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters Its the heart that matters more I think youd better turn your ticket in And get your money back at the door Start running the banner down Drop past the color come up through the summer rain Start turning the girl into the ground Roll a new love over In the middle of the night theres a young man Rolling around in the earth and rain Hey mister if youre going to walk on water, you know You know youre only going to walk all over me [Chorus] Omaha Somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters Its the heart that matters more I think youd better turn your ticket in And get your money back at the door Omaha Sunday morning Im coming home today. youtu.be/VzMIjOyWOi4
