Roosterspur Bridge
Somewhere down past Roosterspur Bridge
Perhaps just a trick of the light
I thought I heard the sweetest guitar
Was it a rock and roll Jesus?
Sometimes I think
I think I understand
The fear in the boy
The fire in the man
Sometimes I watch
The wonder in your eyes
That and you leaving
I have memorized
That and you leaving
I have memorized
Drove all night through Sliding Rock Falls
Thinking I'd find something that we'd lost
Can't remember when you stopped laughing
Or when I stopped wanting to win
Do you even see me now?
Do you think of us still?
Do I always read things in
Before a days deliverance?
On Roosterspur Bridge
This is most obviously a post-break up reminiscence song. She's thinking about how this person had so much doubt and was looking for other things when she sings, "Sometimes I watch the wonder in your eyes." and the inevitable break up that she cannot get over, "That and you leaving, I have memorized." She's thinking of all the good times they had and trying to come up with what it is that went wrong and wishes that this person would figure it out with her. I think Roosterspur Bridge is the place that is most sacred in their relationship...wherever that is.
