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

Lyrics by: Jacob Trego
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. Martin Elliott
On “Meet Me By the River,” Dawn Landes’s self-described “Nashville record,” buoyant country melodies settle deep into lush instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
