\"Diorama\"<\/a> I’m working on a new AMV about a man named Nestor Carroway who runs the local toy store in Lemon.\u00a0 In the front window he has the huge diorama – a really beautiful replica of downtown Lemon.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you look closely at the diorama, you’ll see about a dozen tiny bronze figures scattered here and there – in the buildings, on the benches.\u00a0 Not many people know this, but these figures placed randomly, nor are they supposed to be different little characters.\u00a0 They are all Nestor himself.\u00a0 Every place and pose represents an important, if small, memory of his.\u00a0 When he told me the story about the girl in the sack cloth, I knew I had to write up his story.<\/p>\n

Here’s the first song, “The Girl in the Sack Cloth”:<\/p>\n

[audio: http:\/\/radioghost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/SackCloth.mp3]
\nLyrics:
\nShe lived down near the railroad tracks
\nAt the top of the hill by the black smoke stacks
\nIn a rough little house all the windows were cracked
\nDidn\u2019t have any clothes but she\u2019d sewed up a sack<\/p>\n

I used to play piana at the old town hall
\nThere was never a crowd in fact no one at all
\nBut one day at the end of a sad little song
\nI saw the girl in the sack cloth singing along<\/p>\n

Lord lord lord alleluia
\nEverything I love is blown away<\/p>\n

She was making it up as she sang in the air
\nAll the dreams in her heart and the way that she cared
\nHer eyes were closed tight and her hands in her hair
\nFor as long as I played I knew she\u2019d be there…<\/p>\n

But my hands grew heavy and the moment I stopped
\nThe girl in the sack disappeared in the dark
\nAnd as I ran from the room with my just broken heart
\nI knew the girl in the sack cloth could never be caught<\/p>\n

Went down later on to the railroad tracks
\nMade my way up the hill to the black smoke stacks
\nI knocked on the door of the rough little shack
\nBut there was nobody home and she never came back<\/p>\n

Lord lord lord alleluia
\nEverything I love is blown away<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
