Recorded at Sub Cat Studios for the Sub Rosa Sessions in Syracuse, NY

Song by Alyssa Stock - Originally written for banjo

lyrics

Drove a man into a westward run,
Chasing him into a long-set sun
Holding close thorny memories
Of all the things that he used to be

And o, all the things he took away
And o, how i dream of making him pay

So many miles, through so many hills
Horse is tired, but I push her still
We're in a close and a deadly race
It'll end once I see his face

And o, all my doubts long washed away
I'll hear, the last words that he will say

Always thought that I was nice and sweet,
Mama raising me so clean and neat
A sister raised with her arms entwined
A wedding day both sealed and signed

And o, how her life, it drained away
And o, how I dream of making him pay

He jumped the falls, to the southern plain
To where the cherries won't bloom again
There's a place where he'll try to hide,
But I'm quicker, I'm by his side

And o, he knows what I've come to take
The guns that slept are now awake

There's a hill where the grass won't grow
That's the place where we laid him low
I've got nothing but these memories,
And shattered pieces of what used to be

And o, all the things she'll never say
And o, the light that's gone away
