lyrics

Tell 'Em All

A photograph on the wall
Of a face you don’t recall
From a time you don’t remember
In a place you’ve never been

A pair of eyes, a set of lips
I wonder what she’s saying
To the man over her shoulder
While she’s holding me
Standing on her hips

And now here you are
So many lifetimes on
Sitting high upon my shoulder
On a summers day out on the shoreline

And what will your kids think
And what will their kids know
And look at what’s become of me
Buried deep beneath the snow

Peering through a looking glass
Or a crystal ball

We’re only here
200 years
We’re only here
200 years

So baby remember me
And Tell ‘Em All what you think
Tell em what you felt and what you saw

Tell ‘Em All
Tell ‘Em All

We’re only here
200 years
We’re only here
200 years

"I saw the shadow of a mountain on another mountain." For some reason, that feels so anthemic to me, & it's a great kick-off for the album! My favorites are "O Black Mountain," "Days of Obligation," "A Long Road to be Free," & "Saint Mary of the Underground." James BonTempo
