Silver Shoe (Original Song In Tribute to Chris McCandless)

Song I wrote after wandering on backroads in the White Mountains, inspired by Christopher McCandless. I captured all the images last year, mainly while poking about in said White Mountains. Lyrics: Silver Shoe You passed your seasons in a silver shoe You're going to break out soon and when you do You're going to find out what it means to walk away You'll leave the others with a crack of glue And find out what you've heard is true Just a Ford bags books brains fear and a guitar too You're going to drive out You're going to find out You're going to leave it Like a dream that you once knew It's going to break out It's going to starburst out It's going to ache you like a Joy that you once knew Your eyes swing wide in a cloud of blue The Platonic mirrors they seem so new Metaphors blooming with the sound of two pan flutes You stop in the gloaming by a roadside dive See the truss of the mountains as they gently rise Like the breath you send to mingle with their height You're going to drive out You're going to find out You're going to leave it Like a dream that you once knew It's going to break out It's going to starburst out It's going to ache you like a Joy that you once knew
