lyrics

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street

Horizon full of raindrops
The people all fall through them
And I can’t help but wonder
What is really real

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street

The innocence of friendship
And laughing about nothing
Growing up too quickly
Leads to a black heart

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street

I’ll tell you something sister
Have you ever seen a rainbow
Have you ever felt so happy
You forgot to feel at all

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street

I saw a homeless person
I thought I’ll give a dollar
But my wallet was empty
So I just passed by

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street

The weather doesn’t faze me
I try to just ignore it
When the sidewalk’s made of ice, though
It’s harder to ignore

Oh the iron trees of Wolcott
Stand guard over the city
And all I see is silence
As I cross the street
As I cross the street
As I cross the street

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
