He left his dead in the cottonwood trees
the ground grown too hard with the years.
Falling down was not what it used to be
the ground grown too hard with the years.
He told his children those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze them.
He told himself those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze him.
Lay it down,
lay it down.
He sold most of what he cherished,
the rest he let them steal.
Shot his dog out in the open field,
the rest he let them steal.
He broke all of his promises,
under a sea green sky.
They never thought to ask him why,
under a sea green sky.
Lay it down,
lay it down.
Please bury me in the cottonwood trees
the ground grown too cold for me.
Going to sleep tonight in a warm feather bed
the ground grown too cold for me.
Lay it down,
lay it down.
the ground grown too hard with the years.

Had the pleasure of seeing them in a tiny little dive bar in West Chester, PA back in the 80s. Little did I know how much I'd grow to love these guys.
In the 1990s I was the late night Jazz DJ at a Chico State University, CA public radio sponsored radio station. Anyways we received a promo record (yes vinyl!) of this band. I played it for my own enjoyment (not on the air) and I have been onboard with the Cowboy Junkies ever since. Great vocals yes. And they have a sound that is instantly recognizable. I truly appreciate their recording technique at least early on was to find a space that sounded hugely yummy reverb-y and record "live". This of course is not/was not a new idea but they found their sound. Rich/ambient/spatial. Much like, fast forward, to a 2000's band such as Fleet Foxes who found their own sound using large reverb friendly spaces.

I ask again why all this cowboy junkies hate
'Goodbye Geoffrey Drake' then this toe-tapper - Bill's 'set to slash your wrists by'.
I like 'em both, but they ain't exactly feel-good...

Yes, and that's where they still belong, a local Toronto "indie" band that plays the local clubs ad infinitum because they're too ordinary to compete elsewhere. Just the asinine lyrics of this song is enough. These are art school lyrics about imaginary dramas that never have an ending; the great short stories that the author figured are more "popular" if he leaves out the endings. Sorry, I know you like this tripe. But I can't fathom this band's appeal, the forced etherealness, and zombie-like talentless singing. But that's just me.

Also too, would it sound better if it was "business school lyrics about real dramas with an ending" ?
Tiny's comment was as stupid as it was negative.

Love this band.

I could swear that in the chorus of the guitar riff there is also a song/map from Borderlands 2.

The interim guitar has an early Fleetwood Mac feel to it - pre Buckingham/Nicks. Possibly Jeremy Spencer/Danny Kirwan era!

Just looked at the date of the album - 1996. Yikes 20 years old. CJ's are relatively new to me thanks to Radio Paradise and I had no idea they had been around so long. I like the minimalist vibe of the track and well done to Bill an Rebecca for cherry picking the best tracks from artists over the years so that we can hear the best of them.

Shades of Delaney & Bonnie, Jefferson Airplane & It's A Beautiful Day. Wow! And I agree, Margo has a beautiful voice.
Sexiest voice ever backed by the coolest retro 60's band. I hear a lot of 60's California sound.

Okay, whatever - played to death, but maybe I'm liking it more. Just wish other tracks were played too - at least as much as this one.
This following Bouree by Jethro Tull. Trying to find the set thread here. Obviusly it's the bass line.
Come on Bill, follow this up with Spanish Moon by Little Feat and The Real Me by the Who and we'd be all set!
BTW,listened to this whole album last weekend. It is just good listening from start to finish.

This song seems more inspired by The Velvet Underground to me, especially that fed-back guitar solo, but who knows? A lot of tunes have that kind of groove going on, especially ones from the mid-to-late 1960s.

I recently rented Open Road, kind of a companion piece to the album Open. It's an enjoyable DVD for someone who is a fan or wants to learn something about Cowboy Junkies.

Get more than a hint of Led Zeppelin in the guitar work at key points - specifically Kashmir - but then, it's using a lot of that crazy 60's eastern influenced stylism.

I must confess to not reading ALL of the comments, but does anyone else keep hearing "Mummers Dance" while listening to this?
They did a 10-minute live version of this a couple years ago at the Utah Arts Festival. It was magical. I love their bare bones, sparse style where vocals, percussion and minimal melody guitar slide along on a powerful bass groove that idles along like a sleek diesel locomotive.
