Johnny Edson

from The Saltway by My Grey Horse

lyrics

Since I was young I've had a dream
Of Johnny's body lay by the side of the road
His neck all twisted up and cut with stones
All because he was running to get home
Running to get home

Spent his days at the back of the room
In the corner of the playground at school
He seemed to like his life, he smiled a lot
With his face to the wind and his hands in his pockets
Trying to get home

Life hit Johnny in waves of magic
The bronze lesson bell, the angry priests calling
Images born when we read the morning stories
The cold bottled milk we drank in the storeroom
Trying to get home

Since I was young I've had this dream
It comes when I'm feeling down
There is my friend Johnny Edson with his satchel and books
Laid on the ground

about

My Grey Horse Stratford Upon Avon, UK

My Grey Horse was formed of 5 friends who spent 5 years making music that anchored their existence.

We're really proud of these records but now it makes sense to move on.

Thanks to anybody who listened to our stuff, bought our records, came to shows or supported us in anyway over the years: we couldn't be more grateful. You've been incredible.

Love from,
Pete, John, Oobah, Joe and Tom.
