Department of Eagles – Herring Bone Lyrics 11 years ago
a lot of songs on this album are very dreamy. . . and though I am a lyric hound. . . this album also just makes me feel things beyond the lyrics
this song I've always imagined is Daniel musing on his father or grand father. . .
perhaps looking at pictures
of when he was in the war

Herringbone is a pattern that used to be more common than it is now
that's what it makes me think of
talking to an older generation
that is, yes, dead now

looking at pictures
wondering about his life

and though he's had a son who's had a son who's had a son
and that son is wondering
he's dead
and cannot explain it
anything

family stories
family mysteries

. . . that's how this song has always made me feel
