lyrics

If her words are fire why can’t she watch em glow
Seems like smoke and mirrors is all she gets to know
She’d been here so long, it’s hard to believe
That she ever hung around the city by the sea

She used to ride with angels tryin to be free
Now she lights a candle, and prays down on her knees
For those who’ve gone before her, for those who need relief
She’s got the devil at her back, the city by the sea

Bridge:
Won’t you give her shelter, won’t you hear her song
You can bring a bottle, you can sing along
She says come all ragged souls come unto me
I will give you rest, I got what you need

And she’s got skeletons in her songs down on Josephine
She sings em for a stranger that she’s never seen
If you can leave a dollar you can by a dream
She’s been looking for some light, the city by the sea
She’ve been looking for some light, the city by the sea

Witching Hour
by Andrew Marlin

supported by 4 fans who also own “City By The Sea”

These are exceptionally good (nearly- instrumental) vignettes played with so much finesse and grace. Pieces to carry you far and wide to wonderful places that live on the borderlands of typical Bluegrass tunes, but are all the better for it. The first track is absolutely perfect accompaniment for any late afternoon or evening Autumnal stroll or window staring musings. Fans of early Grisman or early Tony Rice instrumentals take note.
