about

Slow, ethereal, voyage of the imagination. To China, or childhood, before or after the street-lights come on.

lyrics

There she calls from her second floor room
The end of a back porch afternoon
Where we'd stand on the bow of our own man-of-war
No longer the back porch any more
And we'd sail pulling for China
The pirates of Stone County Road
Weathered and blown
And we'd sail ever in glory
Till hungry and tired
The pirates of Stone County Road
Were turning for home

There she calls from her high wicker chair
As I climb to my room up the stair
Where the wind through the shutters
Sends the mainsail to fall
From the shadow of the bedpost on the wall
And we'd sail pulling for China
The pirates of Stone County Road
Weathered and blown
And we'd sail ever in glory
Till hungry and tired
The pirates of Stone County Road
Were turning for home
