Vagabond

I went home to see my children
but they had gone away from me
Ransomed by the skies of midnight
to see how far the sparrow flies
to see how far the sparrow flies
They have come from their oppression
the rise of empire fuels their souls
Redemption sought for deeds undone
redemption down the barrel of the gun
redemption down the barrel of the gun
Wolves they cry for moons acceptance
the night betrays their shallow graves
to cross the river, pay your toll
I pray the passage saves your soul
I pray the passage saves your soul
For forty years I've cried
For forty years I've been alone
For forty years I've wandered
A vagabond, a bag of bones
For forty years I've cried
For forty years I've been alone
For forty years I've wandered
A vagabond, a bag of bones

As I lay your head on down to sleep
I pray your soul forever keep
As the lightning falls, this rain will wash
Your blues away, Your blues away

A small town boy from the great midwest
with the weight of the world, upon his chest
A southern sea and a foreign shore
from the great midwest, to the great world war
His feet grow tired and tears fill his eyes
as smoke from the gunfire, fills the skies
And gently he falls to a knee
Lord I need rest, I need angels wings
When my days on earth are done
I will raise a banner high
for I have won
Curse the winter storm, that stole my son
for he was the only one, of whom I loved
Raise your glasses high, raise them high
for this is the day, we say goodbye
When my days on earth are done
I will raise a banner high
for I have won
May the tears you cry cease, weep no more
for there is no more pain
for I am home
May the tears you cry cease, weep no more
for there is no more pain
for I am home

Run River Run

The night sky is calling after you
by the cover of the moon
the cover of the moon
And tears they are falling down my face
these tears cannot replace
getting over you
Run river run, river run down
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for
Take my love and take it home
Soon I will follow
No other love, but yours I've known
No other love I've known
Run river run, river run down
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for

As I lay down beside you and I whisper your name
my soul it remembers the day I threw love away
As true as the nightfall, and winds sweep the plains
may they bring your love home to me
Com home, my darling Marie
Now I know I've done wrong, a time before
and I know that's what pushed you right out the door
But I'll keep on waiting, my heart longing yes
as that clock keeps on ticking inside of my chest
Now I know I did wrong, and I pushed you away
I pray that you're happy every morning I wake
My heart lingers still because it longs for the day
That you come on home to me
Come home my darling Marie
As he lays down beside you and he whispers your name
My soul it remembers the day I threw love away
My heart keeps on breaking because I know I can't be
The man who deserves my darling Marie

I see the sun setting o'er the western sky
My troubled minds been led by troubled eyes
I've crossed this state line a time or two
I crossed that same line loving you
This whiskey bottle keeps the times alright
As my boots keep walking blind into the night
I'll come on home when I've got something to live for
I'll come on home when I can't love you no more
And I've been walking for many days
I'll keep on walking till I find my way
This land I love is my only home
The sea betrayed, the only love I've known

Through the Deep, Dark Valley
by The Oh Hellos
supported by 7 fans who also own “Darling Laney”
This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time.

Great music to work to ... it moves and it's intricate.

Dan Sheron has a rare talent for telling compelling stories set to incredible music. October's Road is a thing of beauty, a record to get lost in at a time when too many see music as either a disposable single use commodity or as sonic wallpaper. Fantastic.
