Seven dark clouds just rolled in
About to steal the sun
A breath of daylight all that’s left
And the longing has begun
It’s the highway calling me
It just won’t let me sleep
Restless spirits on the wind
Singing their sad song to me
It sounds like a tired daydream
Dancing in the rain
Two steps from a trip on the track
And the kiss of a coming train
You’ve been headed down
So long now
How will you ever rise?
I have my doubts
Your torn coat will hold the wild wind out
Blowing all the blessing from your eyes
I’m so tired of you trying so hard
To act like you never try
The grey moon bouncing off the silver spoon
That lights the path of a life of a life passed by
I found my way through your hollow eyes
And I found a place to rest
In the trenches of the night where “I got it right”
It’s where I loved you the best
You’ve been headed down
So long now
How will you ever rise?
I have my doubts
Your torn coat will hold the wild wind out
Blowing all the blessing from your eyes
All arms no heart
All arms no heart
All arms no heart
And all your charms are buried in yesterday’s backyard
You’ve been headed down
So long now
How will you ever rise?
I have my doubts
Your torn coat will hold the wild wind out
Blowing all the blessing from your eyes
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
