Western Skies   Year: 2008 | Run Time: 3:42

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

heard it call walking wounded
though if words did just what they should
nomenclature's a treasure that gets looted
baby ain't we all just damaged goods

souls as big as western sky
like a field that is straining but lying fallow
all the fruit's dead before it arrives
growing up into your own shadow

if i could just hear you whisper my name
disturb the universe's dead air
whispered like you really mean it
before i vanish in the air

waiting something like catharsis
you've already failed the whole damn thing
here's your ghost and there's your pauper
each exchanging wedding rings

conjure up the memory of some laughter
seems like it all once came down for free
where'd the hourglass finally run out
the one that lies beneath your feet

Appeared On…
