lyrics

Eighteen wheels
Crooked cross on the county line
The days are dark
The dogs are hungry all the time

River roll
Like a monster on its path
Past the steel
And concrete aftermath

Some live hard and fast
Some live light and loose
If love conquers all
Then show me the proof

Blood moon
Bleeds upon the birds of prey
The icy night
Reflected in the huntsman’s gaze

Fever dream
Life lived on the run
Sorrow abounds
For your first born and seventh son

There is honor among the righteous
There is honor among thieves
If love is blind
Then let me see

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

No Medium

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
