lyrics

OBLIVION

are these the tears you never cried?
or the thirst that forever will burn ?
look me straight in the eye
let's drink to oblivion

are these the lips that kissed?
the hand that caressed on ?
we leave on the morning tide
on the sea of oblivion
Oblivion

there are no stars to lead us home
wayward sister and prodigal son
lost in a siren of storms
to the song of oblivion

a shadow tolls the bell
a valley forever shaded from the sun
the dust road a dead man walk down
a dog snarls at the strangers in town
Oblivion

a blood red sign hangs at high noon
points from here to eternity
hold tight to your angel
hold close to your enemy

are these the rivers you never crossed?
look you turned away
forever will burn
in the eyes of oblivion

a roaring sea lies between us
the horizon is lost and gone
clinging on to the wreckage
in a storm of oblivion
Oblivion

The trio's intentions are to deliver music that is spirited and lyrical. Our playing is measured by a certain gritty, restrained melancholy - the music aims for a dynamic that is filmic and atmospheric.
Julian Whitfield: double bass, Bruce Allen: drums, Bernard Eveleigh: Spanish guitar/ vocals. ... more
