Erzählung eines kleinen Städtchens in Upstate New York im Oktober. Legenden eines kopflosen Reiters gehen hier durchs Land und die Gemeinde ist eingeschworen. Bei der herbstlichen Kirmes sieht der neu hinzugezogene Lehrer und Erzähler Fratzen mit feurigen Augen und den Hass der Einheimischen. Das Bankett ist eröffnet aber der hinzugezogene Lehrer träumt von der Flucht, während er mit einer einem kandierten Apfel in der Hand in die Geisterbahn steigt. Am nächsten morgen ist er verschwunden.
lyrics
Sleepy Hollow After Dark
Throw your horseshoe and be free
Says the sailor in the shootin' gallery
He makes me aiming for their mark
In Sleepy Hollow after dark
Little pumpkins, little lights
Selling pastries here, tonight
Just for seven deutsche Mark
In Sleepy Hollow after dark
Butter pancakes, ginger ale
Fried Black forest ham's for sale
The Ferris wheel just sets the spark
In Sleepy Hollow after dark
The ghosttrain's just arrived
It's the last chance for tonight
It's the last ship to embark
In Sleepy Hollow after dark
Crooked people with crooked eyes
And Jesse James wears the disguise
The snake, the apple and the park
Are Sleep Hollow after dark
And the morning fog's awake
There are tales of Captain Drake
Of Columbus and of Ghengis Khan
In Sleepy Hollow in the dawn
An introspective, melancholic EP with strong folk vibes here. This is an antithetical mix of confessional singer-songwriter music and extroverted folk songs. If you don't like this, I can't help you. Richard Limbert
