about

For Abe and Sesame, who we lost too soon,
And for my son Daniel, who has taught me how to trust myself again

lyrics

You’ll come out of all this
A better man
But you are not above it
It’s in your hands
And it’s sinking through your fingers
Like a window to the day
If you love your labors
You cherish them
If you love your lover
She lends a hand
But if you love your darkness
It rips your soul away

And you'll move into the mourning time
What was never mine
You'll move to where the pieces lie
And just let it die
You’ll always have goodbye

I moved out and westward
To forest green
Saw I’d be provided
By more noble means
But now the trees are burning
And the dirt has turned to sand

I rose out of Jordan
And passed the test
Took my songs and toured them
I tried my best
But I couldn’t love the singer
So my hatred howled instead

And you'll move into the mourning time
What was never mine
You move to where the pieces lie
Just let it die
You’ll always have goodbye
Just let it die

I will be a father
To our child
And I will live in wonder
At what is right
But when it's time to let go
I’ll leave my tears behind

And you'll move into the mourning time
What was never mine
You move to where the pieces lie
It was never mine
You'll move to the mourning time
What was never mine
You'll move to where the pieces lie
Just let it die
You’ll always have goodbye
Just let it die
Just let it die
Just let it die
Just let it die

Sama Dams recommends:

The Failure
by And And And

Hell ya to And And And's songwriting, drummer Bim Ditson's post-punk mania and Berg Radin's swarm-of-bees guitar lines… there are few bands in PDX that get me this emotional involved. ♡ this band. Sama Dams

Art Songs
by Paper Gates

Andy played sax over Dirty Work and killed it over two other tracks that we've got in the vault. This release shows the depth of his great talents, and the shape of his unique musical mind. Aw yeah. Sama Dams
