Curtis Stirling

Curtis Stirling, so I’ve been told, built a flying machine in his back yard.
And after all the questions I’ve asked it seems that this is where it starts
And this could be the middle of nowhere if somewhere had ever cared
And I’m told you can see three counties from that spot over there

This is how the story starts (He was seen down the road running)
This is where legend begins (He was seen with the crow singing)
And after all, after all (He was out in the snow)
It all comes back to him

People talking will make a king appear sometimes all it takes is need
Curtis shined a light into the dark, they sing a defiant hymn around these parts

This is how the story starts (He was seen down the road running)
This is where legend begins (He was seen with the crow singing)
And after all, after all (He was out in the snow)
It all comes back to him

And sometimes they hear trumpets
And sometimes they see wings
And sometime there come investigators
To tell them that they’re seeing things

Curtis Stirling so I’ve been told
Took the flying machine from his back yard
And he’ll be coming back one of these days
Wrestling bears when times get hard
Curtis Stirling so they say
Never died and he won’t fade away

This is how the story starts (He was seen down the road running)
This is where legend begins (He was seen with the crow singing)
And after all, after all (He was out in the snow)
It all comes back to him
