lyrics

COPPER HILL

Listen now darling
Listen, it’ll soon be gone
That sweet melody
Out there in the early dawn
It’s way too delicate
For the light of day
When you open your eyes
It fades in the morning gray

You might say I’m a coward
But I think of myself as a clown
If I make people smile
Maybe they won’t let me down
If I make people dance
They’ll come to see me again
If I make them cry
They’ll stand by me in the rain

It’s a beautiful lie & a need
That you can’t quite seem to satisfy
A beautiful lie & you bleed
& you can’t quite seem to figure why
But you try & you get by

On Copper Hill
Fill in the blanks in the sky
On Copper Hill

You can see the top of the hill
From down in the hole
There’s something about the soul of a song
That you can’t control
It might want to kill you tonight
It might be your friend
& if it’s a dream
It might come true in the end

"Grizzled, aching and enigmatically poetic Folk Rock!”—THE ROCKING MAGPIE

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
