about

Second single from the forthcoming album, "Nearby," releasing on October 5, 2018.

lyrics

Was it love that put you on that roof
I was in a trance, and I terrified you
Was it lifeblood, fire and brimstone
Or the grace of our Lord in hollow point lead

Had I felt that warm embrace falling to the concrete
Every regret erased
My soul in its place

I have a daughter who weeps
I have a wife who sleeps
With a picture of me by her bed
Wishing there was something could be said
There is a pain that creeps
Into every face I see
Wish I could erase the memory of that gun

On our land there was a well where our family dwelled
Amid olives and grapes and a man who watched our gates
I have a deed and a key hidden underneath the cedar tree
Even if I go free, they’ve already buried me

Do they have a daughter who weeps
Do they have a wife who sleeps
With a picture of you by her bed
Wishing something could be said
Is there a pain that creeps
Into every face they see
Wish I could escape the memory of our well
Holding a cardboard sign, my home on my back
Stealing cigarettes from the sidewalk crack
Picked up for vagrancy near the railroad tracks
I got the phone you sent, the battery is spent
I’d call you collect if they bring the payphones back

Is it love, then, in its finest hour
Takes a load off of us weary folk
Bend to goodness over power
The smallest act of kindness
A smile and a gentle glance
It’s the gift within forgiveness, grants a second chance

I want a daughter who sings
I want a wife who sleeps
Holds me by her in the bed
Like I’m back here from the dead

I want a daughter who sings
I want a wife who sleeps
Holds me by her in the bed
Like I’m back here from the dead
Could there be a peace that abides
When the sorrow creeps inside
Trying to find my memories
