Lonely Shore (feat. Ruby Friedman)

Deep in the river are the dreams of gold

Laying on the bottom like a pile of bones

Travellin the trails till your blood runs cold

Like we did in Dawson City

I met a man from Tennessee

Somethin in the sermon had a spell on me

Tryin to find what only god can see

But I didn’t go along with him

But we laid down that night

Under northern lights

Strike the match

And close the door

We’ll be safe here

From the winter storm

Watch our breath till we

Feel the furnace roar

I’m a sinking ship

And you’re the lonely shore

In call of night when the dogs were fed

Under a midnight sun and the stars over head

I set sail with my last request

In the morning you would come lookin

You saw a promise and I gave my trade

Now all that remains is a debt unpaid

I settled down in the quiet clay

And the coal would never stay burnin

Strike the match

And close the door

We’ll be safe here

From the winter storm

Watch our breath till we

Feel the furnace roar

I’m a sinking ship

And you’re the lonely shore

But we laid down that night

Under northern lights

Strike the match

And close the door

We’ll be safe here

From the winter storm

Watch our breath till we

Feel the furnace roar

I’m a sinking ship

And you’re the lonely shore

I’m a sinking ship

And you’re the lo,lo,lonely shore

Lonely shore
