Lyrics
We kept a rope hidden under the brush on the hillside Sneakin' in at dusk, we were going for a wild ride Hitchhiker tangled tail, swatting at the deerflies Gimmee a leg up Celia, I'm sitting so high Honeysuckle summer air, wrap your hands in golden hair Arms along his sleek neck, nothing like a back so bare Click your tongue, squeeze the legs, heels dig in, nostrils flair Galloping up that hill, rope for reins, we don't care See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu... Climb on up, find a perch on that worn-out wooden post and rail Sittin' there for hours, watchin' daisies... Well, Celia says “Let's jump that fence,” I smile a one time “What the hell” It's dark enough, we won't get caught, just don't tell” See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu... Before the stunt we agree if someone comes we'll hit the trees I'm on the ground, pull off a rail, crickets chirp, no hint of breeze Celia's up, a hoof stomps loud, announcing our bold decree Suddenly bright headlights glare, the moments freeze... We're hiding in the bushes, not breathing But we're very much alive Shadu's gone back to grazing As the car pulls out the drive We're giggling at the sky... See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu...
We kept a rope hidden under the brush on the hillside
Sneakin' in at dusk, we were going for a wild ride
Hitchhiker tangled tail, swatting at the deerflies
Gimmee a leg up Celia, I'm sitting so high
Honeysuckle summer air, wrap your hands in golden hair
Arms along his sleek neck, nothing like a back so bare
Click your tongue, squeeze the legs, heels dig in, nostrils flair
Galloping up that hill, rope for reins, we don't care
See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu...
Climb on up, find a perch on that worn-out wooden post and rail
Sittin' there for hours, watchin' daisies... Well,
Celia says “Let's jump that fence,” I smile a one time “What the hell”
It's dark enough, we won't get caught, just don't tell”
See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu...
Before the stunt we agree if someone comes we'll hit the trees
I'm on the ground, pull off a rail, crickets chirp, no hint of breeze
Celia's up, a hoof stomps loud, announcing our bold decree
Suddenly bright headlights glare, the moments freeze...
We're hiding in the bushes, not breathing
But we're very much alive
Shadu's gone back to grazing
As the car pulls out the drive
We're giggling at the sky...
See ya later Mom, I'm going to Shadu...
Listener comments about "Going To Shadu (127813)"
Going to Shadu represents a remarkeable songwriting acheivement by Esther. Unless you've ever heard her tell the story behind the song, its just another pretty song. When one relives the mischief related to the lyrics you can laugh out loud everytime you hear it. Chili (talk)
