lyrics

the words I prayed and the ones I said
the day I cried over my dead friend
a fathers love and a mothers grief
the weight of doubt and disbelief
loss is the substance of your faith
to see just how much you can take until you break

sleeping out beneath the trees
in Oregon where nothing feels like it should be
driving down the interstate
where the Rockies cut the skyline like a razor blade
where we were three we now are two
I lost a friend and lost my shoes

I think of you each time of year
the summer dies and disappears
the seasons pass just like you did
but the memories remain like the ghost inside my attic
Jesus wept for his friend too
I’m comforted to know that even God may feel confused

Lonely Winter Juneau, Alaska

Hi, my name is David and I live in Juneau, Alaska. I'm inspired by the rugged geography of Alaska, and I think that that inspiration translates itself into my music. Thanks for giving a listen!
