Walked away Released from all my crimes Walked away Released from all my crimes But I could never hide What I kept inside Walked away Released from all my sins Walked away Released from all my sins But the cruelest thing Was all my suffering When I held you that night I knew it felt so right I knew it felt so right Walked away Released from all my crimes Walked away Released from all my crimes But I could never hide What I kept inside
2.	Battle Of Saratoga 06:07	lyrics	buy track
Three o'clock in the morning Snowing and I can't go home Coming down in Kingston Christmas Eve the roads are closed Just like Walter Gibson Knowing what the Shadow knows And on their way From Saratoga They burned our fields They burned our homes Candy shop quartet Free coffee and chocolate Dreaming of the pine needles Waiting for my next set Hallucinating wonders Drying out like Benedict And on their way From Saratoga They burned our fields They burned our homes They burned our homes They burned our homes Commander of the troops I tried to capture Bemis Heights Talking in tongues They couldn't get to me on time Forced to retreat I turned and ran to safety Through the pines And on their way From Saratoga They burned our fields They burned our homes

From the dust I come To the the dust I return From the dust I come To the the dust I return From the roofs I cry From the roofs I cry From the roofs I cry From the roofs I cry From the dust I come To the the dust I return From the dust I come To the the dust I return ________ Take me to the blue line Lift me up Drop me down Into the middle Of the cold, cold ground She was born In a diamond shack Three wise men Said she's coming back Through purple skies And seas of red Silver raindrops Fill with dread She’s so lean From a golden hue Bursting forth Coming back to you

Blue is such a cold shelter Shelter Shelter Blue is such a cold shelter Shelter Shelter Blue is the color of the sky Blue is the color of her eyes Blue is the color of the mountains Blue is the color of the sea Of the sea Blue is such a cold shelter Shelter Shelter Blue is such a cold shelter Shelter Shelter Blue is the color of the sky Blue is the color of her eyes Blue is the color of the mountains Blue is the color of the sea Of the sea

Jesus I don’t want to die alone Jesus, oh Jesus I don’t want to die alone My love wasn’t true Now all I have is you Jesus, oh Jesus I don’t want to die alone Jesus If you hear my last breath Don't leave me here Left to die a lonely death I know I have sinned But lord I’m suffering Jesus, oh Jesus If you hear my last breath Jesus I don’t want to die alone Jesus, oh Jesus I don’t want to die alone My love wasn’t true Now all I have is you Jesus, oh Jesus I don’t want to die alone All my troubles All my pain Will leave me once again
7.	I'm Still Free 07:27	lyrics	buy track
Say can you see by the dawn's early light The birds in flight At such a dizzying height Our flag still waves in the dusk Who do you trust? When love turns to dust Who do you trust? I'm still free And I'll tell the world about it 'Cause I got no doubt about it I want a love that will bind All of time Will you be mine? Give me a sign Here's a salute to the old Stars and stripes From such a dizzying height To the morning light I'm still free And I'll tell the world about it 'Cause I got no doubt about it I'm still free And I'll tell the world about it 'Cause I got no doubt about it

November 8, 2016. The night we all dreaded. Danny didn’t even show up. I don’t blame him. Most people stayed home, their eyes glued to CNN. The main theater was empty. Some of us didn’t know what else to do. Nate brought his recording gear. Niko arrived halfway through, bleary eyed. Helpless. Everyone’s phone lit up. We tried to make the best of it.
