lyrics

Sick and Low Part 1: Time Moves
Slowly Past the Whiskey Boat.

Well give me one more, make it tall
Got heavy things to forget somehow.
Thank you for those faultless nights
Safe harbor ‘midst my sordid life
(well I know)
I’ve been false so long
And I’ve been living death
Prolonged. Can’t move on.
Spent too many nights with that little
soul. A flickering light
Well I know... I’ve been wrong

One in a million is never too small
When rudderless amidst the squall
I held onto your stubborn roots
Time shook me with her Holy truth
(and I’ll)
Scribe with my scratch awl
Then cut the kerf.
Still yet a thrall.
Aye. Forswear my flyblown ways.
Don’t go far my brother
I might need your hand tomorrow
That was what I meant to say….

Ten years penance I’d justly pay
To thresh this guilt and mill this blame.
I Pray I can yet call you home
Lord knows I can’t face this alone
And we’ll need our fire
It’s the only thing that doesn’t change
And I’ll need your smile here as well
For your stark golden grace.
Unflinching eyes and full embrace.
Well I thank you for…everything
