lyrics

The land was forgotten like a whisper in the wind
Swallowed by ivy, by the creepers and weeds
Where headstones have crumbled under blankets of moss
Names forsakes and lost
They came here as farmers, masons and maids
Worked through the seasons in the sweat and the rain
But the fruits of their labor were never their own
All for another man's home

Over their bones, over their bones
Long passed over like a river stone
Over their bones, willows weep, a lonesome moon
Is left to grieve

I walk in the forest, brush the webs form my face
And fall through the pages of my history, my name
I can tell you the face on the dollars and dimes
But I can't trace my family line

Over their bones, over their bones
Long passed over like a river stone
Over their bones, willows weep, a lonesome moon
Is left to grieve

With greatest care one man tended the grounds
Knew the map and he passed it down
What would he think, what would he say
Since the days a dollar bought a grave

Over their bones, over their bones
Long passed over like a river stone
Over their bones, willows weep, a lonesome moon
Is left to grieve

In Front Of Us will be released march 11, 2022, a record that should quietly find its way into a lot of needy hearts.
