about

A Dark Americana bluegrass song featuring a Leonard Cohen Johnny Cash style vocal about betrayal and revenge. Opens with fiddle, banjo and classic bluegrass snare and bass and builds to a fiddlebanjo instrumental mid-section. Atmospheric and slightly evil.

lyrics

The Perfect Storm

I had a dream about you
as the sky burst into flame
We boarded all the doors and windows
The ground below us opened
to a pit that glowed blood red
you laughed and said "jump in - that's where the sin goes"
There's no alms to give the poor
there's no calm to give the scorned
No tally for the gifts you gave in shame
I'd lie to give you faith
but I never learned that trade
It was the Perfect Storm that blew my love away


The scarecrows bore poor witness
to a future birthed in stone
The ground belched colder with each shovel's bite
The winds slurred with a sailor’s tongue
Kissed by a knucklebone
The soot grew blacker in that crow filled night
All the cradles in distress
Every face was uncaressed
The benevolent and righteous left maligned
I knew you when you cried
The finest moment of that night
It was the Perfect Storm that left my love behind


Every soul stared into space
Yearning for that better place
They licked the juice that life spilled on its shoe
The craters in your eyes
The feel of joy that I despise
It was the Perfect Storm that took my love from you


Spiders start your spinning
put your heart into your craft
Prepare to be desire's final doctor
I'll find my needed tenderness
inside a steel shaft
Abiding in the strong arms of my proctors


There's no song upon the hills
There's no river running still
I prayed and prayed to reach this state of mind
Grayed moments drop away
leaving nothing left to say
It was the Perfect Storm that left my love behind
