Lyrics
I’m picking dead flowers in the promise land
I’m moving along just as fast as I can
An old home movie plays in my head
I look into their eyes
It is me I see instead
I’m singing a song my father wrote
He passed it alone with his old army coat
I creep a little closer
And the land just falls away
The thought of crossing over
Takes my breath away
Can we dream and still go deeper
With the ashes and the dust
Bare trees appearing to be dead
How much does this planet weigh?
You pass right through me one more time
You pass right through me one more time
My lips are chapped
My thoughts repeat
This road is long
This road is gone
I ly down in the tall grass
Just like I knew I would
I think these are trying times
Sing a little song
Sing a little song for me
I keep on walking
I keep on talking
The stars are shining in the sky so bright
Just like you said they would
Birds occupy the sky
And my eyes fill with water
Absolutely nothing to say
It is a perfect day
I will do the cooking
You can build the fence
We will bury our dead
And remember whence
I’m moving along just as fast as I can
An old home movie plays in my head
I look into their eyes
It is me I see instead
I’m singing a song my father wrote
He passed it alone with his old army coat
I creep a little closer
And the land just falls away
The thought of crossing over
Takes my breath away
Can we dream and still go deeper
With the ashes and the dust
Bare trees appearing to be dead
How much does this planet weigh?
You pass right through me one more time
You pass right through me one more time
My lips are chapped
My thoughts repeat
This road is long
This road is gone
I ly down in the tall grass
Just like I knew I would
I think these are trying times
Sing a little song
Sing a little song for me
I keep on walking
I keep on talking
The stars are shining in the sky so bright
Just like you said they would
Birds occupy the sky
And my eyes fill with water
Absolutely nothing to say
It is a perfect day
I will do the cooking
You can build the fence
We will bury our dead
And remember whence

I can hear the time you put into this and really appreciate it. Great production, but even better song. Intro reminds me of Elliot Smith. Drums sound great, acoustic excellent. Vox sensational.
Very good stuff,
LL
