The Long Beds: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Written in honor of my brother Jed and in memory of his wife Sarah. This is the studio version, with production, beautiful harmonies, and a dobro solo all supplied by my friend Andy Dee. (The version on "Headwinded" was recorded live in one take, thus the creaking chair.)

(for my little brother)

January days, I can see a trace
Of your breath, out there in space
Sundogs are gold in the blue
One to each side of the sun
A picture of me and you

I never knew, I never knew

Corn rattles cold in the row
The wind is pushing snow
The sky is wicked with crows
They wheel and they plunge from above
Ragged black holes in the gray
Calling like dogs on the bay

I never knew, I never knew
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I stand in the void and I call
Where are you now?

It’s green here in June
But it’s cold as an empty room
My heart is hung on the moon

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I never knew, I never knew
I stand in the void and I call
Where are you now?
