It's a cold day when we finally leave this town. Turn our backs to the wind, pull our hats down. Ride towards the fields full of nothing, It was always too long to stay around. Ghosts in graveyards throw whispers in the wind. They dance above us, saying, “Go away or come in.” Stars paint a sky into something, That turns a promise into a sin. All these five and dime blockades, Cast stones upon the renegades. They swear it’s to defend their faith, But who can really tell? "Chariots full of fire and arrows, Pierce a child's hand holding a white rose. Next to sailors of the ‘Queen of Spain’. While Venus never truly loved -she was owed. The stars glide then fall over Idaho, Everyone that’s already gone still wants to go. To find someplace new, that they can leave again. ‘Cause day turned to night, and rain turned to snow. All these five and dime blockades, Cast stones upon the renegades. They swear it’s to defend their faith, But who can really tell?

Bones Apart 04:32
The seagulls fly, The mountains move, The sun sets over you. I Can’t keep from crying, When I hold your picture, The wrinkled corners Right through my heart. So lay me down Cause we're just bones apart So lay us down Cause we're just bones apart The sky is running, It’s bleeding red, Haunted frightened leaves in dark trees. Walk still in a hard breeze, Forgetting you makes, Me remember me. So lay me down Cause we're just bones apart So lay us down Cause we're just bones apart

When we are lost in the rain And can’t be found. Grab ahold of me, Lay your weapons down. We can fight so long, And disguise the pain. Or we can dance all night, And forget the blame. And at night don’t call to me, When your life doesn’t feel so free. Children of the sun, Have visions on the fields. In the October country, Of mines and distills. Bombs shattered London, The blades they sang. New York went to sleep, And got buried in the rain. And at night don’t call me, When your life doesn’t feel so free.

Sparrow fly so high, And rid me of these memories? It’s been a long time coming I’ve spent many years a-runnin. It’s an empty shadow, That helps me write a final wish. It’ll be a long time coming, For a change to come like this. There is a telltale sign, That keeps coming to my mind. Is a change coming, Or did it come and go? It’s an empty shadow, That helps me write my final wish. It’ll be a long time coming, For a change like this.

My love is in Boston, and I'm gone. And so time beats on, Until we are all gone. Skies turn to a fire like ember when you're away. And I just don't know, If I can get her to stay. My pretty baby, she's not so pretty anymore. But I know I'll stay - because I know what I'm here for. And i hope she is lonely as hell, But never forgotten There isn't much left, couldn't you tell? The water was pure from the well. And all those games we use to win, Seems we are losing, but playin’ again. When my body finally gives out, And I lose the power in my blood. I’ll be ready to go, With either the devil or the dove.

about

"Devil and The Dove", is more of a mood setting album opposed to a collection or random songs thrown onto a canvas. The feeling of the "October Country", during a misty rainy evening in the fall months. I wanted this to evolve around a character who gets a visit in the middle of the night from the looming character of "Death". Death arrives with a box of film reels that display our characters memories and experiences throughout his life - via 8MM film. Regrets, aging, longing to change the past and loneliness are the major themes running throughout this album. How do we come to terms with our regrets and our sins? What happens when that final 8MM film reel clicks off? From the high youthful action of "Whispers of the Wind", to the final closing piano chords of "When You're Away" - I hope you enjoy the experience this album will take you on. Thank you for all the support!
