Sapper Eagle I really enjoy the sound!! The vocals have a hint of Michael Stipe and Neil Young. The drums remind me of Levon Helms style from “The Band”. A good mix of instruments, love the steel guitar, everything is very well balanced. Back-up vocals, touché!! Favorite track: Disappear.

Don’t hold your breath This thing has never been on time I spend most of them With you standing in line Look at the way it spins And reflects the light Don’t stare too long It might ask you tonight Oooh Don’t hold your breath This thing has never been on time I spend most of them With you standing in line Look at the way it spins And reflects the light Don’t stare too long It might trap you tonight

You have been here so close to me We’ve seen some things we weren’t meant to see Children drowning in autumn leaves The mountains crumbled into the sea We were young but we’re older now Its a Friday night and we’re going out We made it home but we don’t know how We fell asleep in the morning hours Someone that we both once knew Is this the end that its all coming to You found a note and it caught your eye It’s in a script that you recognize It made you laugh and it made you cry You feel relieved but you don’t know why You see the sky from your living room The moons the bride and the suns the groom Lazarus is still in the tomb He’ll never see the flowers in bloom Now I’ve heard it all before But the raven sits on my door You have been here so close to me We’ve seen some things we weren’t meant to see A tiny owl with a thousand wings Happy people on enormous screens

Counting stars on the beach With the sand on your cold feet Mourn the time we had that just disappeared Got this table and chair Sitting down anywhere All the time we’ve spent just sitting here See you talking to them all It doesn’t look like talking at all Then again nothing is what it seems Now you’re making your home on the wind And the road is your only friend Got these markings on your hand In a language that I don’t understand All it marks is that its time to change If they all were here to see Would you mind if I take a seat Turn around and see if I disappear All the time we spent just sitting here And the morning will come again And the morning will come again And I’ll see you old friend Once again And the morning will come again And the morning will come again And I’ll see you old friend And I’ll see you old friend Once again

Ghost Dance 03:37
Come quick darling Come here what I dreamed Hold me while I Tell you all I seen There was a voice inside the fire Her words were lined with the stars Said the fuel will soon depart For the ghost dance I looked up on Mother life she rode the comets tail Bluest sorrows Filled her eyes somehow she felt she failed She said love to you who’ve tried But the green has left the vine And I do believe it’s time For the ghost dance And her words fell pure as snow On the empty hearts below And mourned for when they broke At the ghost dance The drum beats sure and slow And the embers left to glow Draws all the weary souls To the ghost dance

I don’t see you anymore Selling magazines door to door I though I saw you standing inside Why don’t you come and sit for a while I would trade our memories To remember something sweeter Just an ordinary place Leave behind two empty graves Ordinary places I don’t see you anymore Dirty magazines on my floor The sun comes up then its down Your time has come and its now I would trade our memories To remember something sweeter Just an ordinary place Leave behind two empty graves Ordinary places Ordinary places

Northern Sky 03:04
You’re the northern sky in wintertime And I am a flock of geese I’m a puzzle on the coffee table And you are the missing piece You’re the ending to a tall tale That is too tall to believe I thought that we had so much time But it was stolen by thieves I can’t tell you how long that its been Since I have seen you my only friend Was this your plan or coincidence I need some time just wait Samson was a warrior Until Delilah cut his hair Once there was great flood But Noah came prepared Moses went on the mountain And wrote the rules down where he stood Solomon built the temple Judas would kiss you if he could I can’t tell you how long that its been Since I have seen you my only friend Was this your plan or coincidence I need some time just wait You’re a skeleton in my closet You’re a ghost that’s on the stairs There’s a monster at the party Nobody seems to care The moon looks pretty scary Hangin up there when its full I’d rather see the sunrise Over Paris or Istanbul The truths not written on paper Its written down in your heart You’re the northern sky in wintertime We are never far apart

I can’t laugh at you now I didn’t know that you were leaving Been laughing so long Didn’t notice I was bleeding I was holding my breath Underwater I was living All these thoughts in your head But you were only dreaming When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true I can’t hide from you now You always know where I have been I never wanted to see You walk around with him It broke my heart in two But at least its still beating You were sleeping so long I had to check if you were breathing When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true Theres coffee on the table I’m not sure if I am able To remember what I won’t forget So how do you take it When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true Theres coffee on the table Im not sure if I am able to see it

Black Water 05:34
The crops are bending in the summer heat A brawl broke out down on Dixon street A fighter bragging that he can’t be beat Young boy rose up and he knocked out his teeth Now there’s a devil in this little town Cant stop the rumors from spreading around They don’t realize their words do them harm There was murder down at the Jackson’s farm You talk so loud Just let me speak You look so proud So just go to sleep You’re looking down But the well is deep Coming out of the ground Black water to drink He had a motive and no alibi But nobody saw him with their own two eyes A shadow outlined a perfect pair Two bodies found at the county fair You talk so loud Just let me speak You look so proud So just go to sleep You’re looking down But the well is deep Coming out of the ground Black water to drink You talk so loud Just let me speak You look so proud So just go to sleep You’re looking down But the well is deep Coming out of the ground Black water to drink You talk so loud You’ve lost your mind in the heat You look so proud The bloody fighter was beat You’re looking down But the well is deep Coming out of the ground Black Water to drink

I never thought I’d see your face again Its why I had to set out across the plains I’m coming close and I’ll see you in time again Until I saw the Sierra-Nevada range I thought I’d take a look outside All of the children are terrified They’ve never seen these things before These hooves and horns They look like monsters that walk on all fours In 1865 we won the war Had to give up on what we believed I took up with the 5th of Baltimore We took em down from Richmond to New Orleans I thought about you all the time As the war went marching by It didn’t matter who won or lost Or the damaged caused They tore our brothers and our sisters apart Looking out ones East and one was West Such a sight will bring you to your knees I thought about you everyday I wrote you letters on the train And now I’m lost here in the dark Under the stars I heard
