about
In Eyes Of My Father, the protagonist is in the midst of redemption. A bittersweet communion gives an otherworldly resolve from which the protagonist begins to blossom, as he ponders time as a companion (rather than a restraint).
lyrics
Eye Of My Father
Took a lifetime of struggle,
just to get here.
Climb this mountain to stand in the sun.
I look down with these eyes,
the eyes of my father.
I've been old
longer than I've been young.
We walk with our songs; travel this hard road.
Courage we leave in the hands of a few.
Someday we'll forget every question we've answered
and turn at the end, like the prodigal son.
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Took a lifetime of struggle,
just to get here.
Climb this mountain to stand in the sun.
I look down with these eyes,
the eyes of my father.
I've been old
longer than I've been young.
We walk with our songs; travel this hard road.
Courage we leave in the hands of a few.
Someday we'll forget every question we've answered
and turn at the end, like the prodigal son.
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

about
Chi.Turner. Vancouver, British Columbia
Delicious sonic textures, lyrics channeling an unusual devotion to daily life and a voice who's owner (some say) drinks too much coffee. Slightly better than cigarettes, I suppose.
