lyrics

Another long dark Night
Just a waiting by the phone
Is he lying in a ditch somewhere
Is he coming home
Broken sleep till sunrise
She finds him in his chair
And kisses is swollen eyes
And strokes his blood soaked tear

Sometimes she wonders
If he even sees her
She still sees the good in him
She wonders if he feels her
He’s sometimes there but gone
And living borrowed years
Sing a lonely little ballad
For the wounded healer

Police are at the door
What now has he done
He will barely just remember
Conscience on the run
Needle guided footsteps
She’s done asking why
Where was he at 12 o’clock
She’s the alibi

His chin is hanging low
Pierced to his chest
Wondering if he slept forever
Perhaps that would be best
1 foot in the grave
1 foot in her bed
One hand on a demon
One reaching for the dead

He fronted the cowpunk band Luckyfool for years but is now out on his own, creating music with folks who he is lucky enough to cross paths with.The tunes here are from his time with Luckyfool and his solo stuff.
The Rev writes real songs about pain, hope & good times.Only the names have changed!
