about

Magna Carta
(Words & Music by John DeLore)

Featuring Charlotte Cornfield

lyrics

We made our spell from simple things,
A beat up car and some busted strings,
Eighty miles an hour down the line
Past the smoky stacks of Gary, Indiana, farm and prairie
Back to where we first tasted wine.

In every single town we found the same thing
There were teeth in every corner
And a forest in the dream of every child.

Wild so wild is the world we’re living in
And wild must be the music that we throw back to the wind.
And just like the wolves that howl the whole night through
Wild is the song I sing for you.

With your hair of whiskey brown, and your eyes of Mary blue.
Did you carry all these burdens?
Or did they carry you?
Past the fields of endless slaughter,
O’er the streams of troubled waters,
Back to pretty daughters sleeping so peaceful and mild.

In every single town we found the same thing
There were teeth in every corner
And a forest in the dream of every child.

Wild so wild is the world we’re living in
And wild must be the music that we throw back to the wind.
And just like the wolves that howl the whole night through
Wild is the song I sing for you.
