lyrics

In the name of honor and dignity
Or just to leave a trace
Of dreams of glory making history
Or just to save face

Of half-done plans that pique each year
The geese come a-honking
And a load that seems too heavy to bare
When no one comes a-knocking

Hey children let's go down
Down to the creek get mud on our feet
Hey children let's go down
And leave the future behind us

Oh to breathe in a time when all is fine
Except the truth laid out before us
All the legends of old making us blind
To the only place of promise

If silence don't rust and words are ghosts
That always come back to haunt me
Shut my mouth for good and be misunderstood
A lone ship drifting on the sea

Hey children let's go down
Down to the creek get mud on our feet
Hey children let's go down
And leave the future behind us

In the name of pride and prestige
Or just to make a mark
Of flights of fancy hope of romance
Or just some crazy lark

We'll head to the land of the dragon tree
And sing to a little parlor guitar
Let's dance to the light of the honeywine moon
What a beautiful girl you are you are
What a beautiful girl you are you are
What a beautiful girl you are you are
What a beautiful girl you are you are

Hey children let's go down
Down to the creek get mud on our feet
Hey children let's go down
And leave the future behind us

about

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
