about

This song is an invitation and an anthem, so to speak, of a place close to my heart. So come with me to the river by the old train tracks to the Trempealeau Hotel.

lyrics

"The Trempealeau Hotel"

Come with me to the river,
to the river won't you come?
Won't you come with me my darling?
To the river won't you come,
to the river won't you come,
won't you come with me my darling?

There's a place I know up in Trempealeau
where the smiles come fast and easy,
and the water flows down from Perrot.
I'll meet you in the evening.

Oh, Trempealeau, my heart it flows in the river where you're sleeping.
And ever time I close my eyes, it's a memory worth keeping.

And when I close my eyes and the train rolls by
I can feel my body shaking.
I get lost in time. I don't ask why.
It's memories we're making.

And I've seen July now forty times,
Won't make it forty more.
There won't be no shrine to this life of mine,
But there'll be this dancing floor.

Oh, Trempealeau, my heart it flows in the river where you're sleeping.
And ever time I close my eyes, it's a memory worth keeping.

Oh, Trempealeau, my heart it flows in the river where you're sleeping.
And ever time I close my eyes, it's a memory worth keeping.

So raise your glass to the river and the ones you love,
And the ones you know so well.
And I'll meet you by the water and the old train tracks,
At the Trempealeau Hotel

Oh, Trempealeau, my heart it flows in the river where you're sleeping.
And ever time I close my eyes, it's a memory worth keeping.
Oh, Trempealeau, my heart it flows in the river where you're sleeping.
And ever time I close my eyes, it's a memory worth keeping.

Come with me to the river,
to the river won't you come?
Won't you come with me my darling?
To the river won't you come,
to the river won't you come,
won't you come with me my darling?Come with me to the river,
to the river won't you come?
Won't you come with me my darling?
To the river won't you come,
to the river won't you come,
won't you come with me my darling?
