lyrics

All these tears running down our head,
Can't take away all the things we said.
What we were seems as good as dead
As the world around you weeps.

Here we stand and there we run
Between things past and thing yet undone
Maybe all we ever had was fun
And that ain't playin' for keeps.

Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine.
With your heart no longer mine.
But the years, no they weren't to kind.
No, they weren't so sweet.
Thought I'd hear you'd be doin' fine.
With your heart no longer mine.
But your dreams, like mine, reside
Where the shadows shiver to sleep.

Words you spoke were always fine,
Though you sang out of tune and out of time.
I could never get myself to mind.
I just had to be near her.

Sun shone bright upon her face.
No dim barroom could steal it away.
We lit the night in it's tightest space
With her face like a pale moon mirror.

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence.

His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more

This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
