Some stories need songs to write themselves. Still working on "Charon," the Bordertown story of an undertaker, a banshee, and a dead elvin girl. It is a mourful soundtrack, veering between "Cruel Sister," "Dark Turn of Mind," and "I Wish My Baby Was Born...and I in my grave." Waiting for the elvin girl to tell me her story. In the meantime, I hear myself absently singing this Jack White version while doing the dishes, driving, knitting...wayfaring indeed like my unknown girl.
