about
The trail through green shadows and magic twilights, to the place where the hills lock you in, while the world goes away, another dimension, when time can stop, and the firelight dances, you might find that special place at an Albert County Stomp.
From Bleakney and the Albert County Swamp, featuring Travis Furlong. Production by Mike Oz and Studio Z. Onward.
lyrics
Albert County Stomp
Set out early morning, I'm never going back
I left my headache in Petitcodiac
Turned the corner, down the Albert Track
Crossed a railroad bridge and a tarpaper shack
We're on a mission for that which we seek
It took awhile, felt like a week
When we passed those forest lilies this side of Turtle Creek
We're well aware, we walk on hallowed ground
Struck us to the core, silent so profound
Sun beating down, ground was getting cooked
Counted every single footstep all the way to Prosser Brook
Searching for the path, the one that takes me home
Near Heyward Pinnacle I think I found that road
In the forest chasing an Albert County stomp
In Albert County maple butter if you please
I'm singing with elves and I'm dancing with the trees
Take the road less fallow find the hidden haunt
In the forest chasing an Albert County stomp
Now Riverside Albert, maybe Alma bound
Caledonia gorge with an ear to the ground
The Shepody road to the old '45
Falls foam like suds and not a cloud in the sky
Now we're bobbing and weaving
I 'll tell you what we want
We're looking for the beat of an Albert County stomp
In Albert County maple butter if you please
I'm singing with elves and I'm dancing with the trees
Take the road less fallow find the hidden haunt
In the forest chasing, in the forest chasing, in the forest chasing an Albert County stomp
