Escaping the "common heart," two social misfits find renewed purpose in charting their own destiny. "We are the misfits that heaven defends." A Folk-Rock Anthem full of lush acoustic harmony extolling a special "Amour de soeur pour son frère." The thumbnail depicts me and Nelly-Anne in Würzburg, West-Germany in the 70s. Beautiful, Ginger Nelly-Anne.] [Style: CSN&Y Unplugged Ballad (Acoustic Guitars, Cajón, Lush Harmonies)] [Intro - Opening with lyrical melody of delicate guitar-harmonics on a single steel-stringed guitar] [The other guitars join strumming a counter-melodic riff.] (Oh—ohh-ohhh-oh-ohh.......) [Verse 1: The Inherited Flaw] We found the ledger with the names erased, A tally kept by ghosts we never faced. Born with a flaw in the timber and the blood, A lonely man's inheritance of mud. [Verse 2: The Mutual Witness] The System runs on gravity and shame, Demands your witness to deny your name. But you caught the mirror that was falling down, And saw a king beneath the empty crown. Ooo-oo-oooo.... We share the quiet word the others missed. Ooo-oo-oooo.... [Chorus: The Bootleg Map (Defiance)] They said the roads ran only one way - Down........ To serve the gov'ment man o'er in town. But we drew a line across the charts they kept, Two travelers who woke while the city slept. We carry the Bootleg Map, Nelly-Anne. Ooo-oo-oooo.... We dream the path that doesn't have an end. [Verse 3: The Worn-Out Suit (Alienation & Escape)] I wore the tie they said would suit the task, Helped build the church they all would ask. But the suit felt thin upon a borrowed skin, And the lessons never matched the noise within. So I left the keys and the papers on the sill, Said goodbye to the promise on the hill. (Said..... Good.....bye.....) [Transitional Interlude] [Verse 4: Nelly-Anne and The Turning Wheel (Intervention)] I turned the corner on the cold, last street, Ready to fail every single soul I meet. Then stood the light in shades of rust and gold, My sister there, the truest heart, kept 'n'a tight hold. Her hand was small but stopped the driving wheels, And in her eyes, the judgment finally heals. She spoke of lies the gossipers had spun, And gave me back the life I thought was done. [Bridge: The Misfits' Defense (Climax)] I heard the secret that the quiet girl kept, The price you paid for dreams while others slept. You whispered, "The failure was not in our part," "But in the brittle measure of the Common Heart." The walls they built will crumble and descend, (Crumble and Descend........) We are the misfits that Heaven — Defends..... Hooh-oh-ohh-oh........ We are the misfits that Heaven — Ha - Defends........ (Ooo-oo-oooo... Heaven Defends.....) [Instrumental Interlude: Acoustic guitars and Cajón maintain a subtle, driving rhythm.] [Final Chorus: (Repeat, Full Power)] They said the roads ran only one way, Down........ To serve the tax man in the empty town. But we drew a line across the charts they kept, Two travelers who woke while the city slept. Ooo-oo-oooo.... We carry the Bootleg Map, Nelly-Anne, Ooo-oo-oooo.... We dream the path that doesn't have an end. [Solo Statement] We dream the path — That doesn't have an end. [Outro] A place on the - Bootleg Map... Is waiting for the sun... [Postlude - Winding, introspective strumming with Melody picked out on Bright Steel Stringed Guitar] [Fade] [END] ******** <<<•>>> ******** ©2025, All Rights Reserved, Clifford E.
