Where the Bricks Have Names 04:31
lyrics
buy track
I see you’re up all night Don’t want to close your eyes Where the bricks have names and the waves roll over And as that memory goes and the skies cave in I watch that pagan sun but from a different view It feels like Halloween with the clouds so orange It stains the morning air where the road meets the water So go and light it up and enjoy what’s stolen Where the bricks have names And the waves keep rollin’ Follow the river, into the sun walk through the shadows, and claim you have none Over the river, down to the sea Take all that’s forgotten, between you and me

You Know Who You Are 04:29
lyrics

She sees from a bird’s eye view as not my case We’re all in the water here we’re up to our waist And in my dreams… flying above it all… she whispers clear Her breathe in my ear (don’t be mistaken) you know who you are You must be a better man than me cause I’m not your worth While pockets nearly inside out wanna save the earth I fly in my dreams Fly in my dreams I caught me a big old trout with a weird ass name He asked if I’d throw him back would I avoid the blame?

It's An All Red Sky 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got no penance to be flown high The gray wind, the Mighty Quinn left out to dry It’s an all red sky She walks like a pheasant with her daiquiri wine “it all seems so strange outside” she waits our reply It’s an all red sky

Dig It Deep 03:40
lyrics
buy track
A day’s ride to where the waters meet Just north of Cannon Ball We stand on sacred ground awe it’s bittersweet Well dig on down, dig it deep Where the rivers cross and the big sky meet Twelve hundred miles, twelve hundred miles it won’t be long now, for Black Elk’s dream It’s been said a thousand times There must be a better way We see through seven lives awe there’ll come a day So dig on down, dig it deep Where the rivers cross and the big sky meet Twelve hundred miles, twelve hundred miles it won’t be long now, for Black Elk’s dream From the Black Hills through the red willow Now we’re all together one We stood on sacred ground awe it was bittersweet yeah it was bittersweet

I Can Be Rain 04:03
lyrics
buy track
When I’m 89, I’m in line Colors fail to rhyme, it all unwinds But only in my eyes can you see me can you see me? I can be rain If I could be awakened from, the constant haze With all the where I’m out of it, running both ways Now when I’m 91 I can be owned I can be sold I can be rain When I’m 93, hope not to be Do you remember when? So patiently But only in my eyes can you see me can you see me? I can be rain

Song For Ryan 03:46
lyrics

I saw her there She saw me where, I held my own Then she turned away Now is the time where our thoughts unwind From a misty rain, to a thunderstorm turn a misty rain into a thunderstorm Can you feel the lightning in your hands when autumn changes all your plans it’s alright, your alright Just walk away It’s ok, your ok Just walk away She’s only four pedal to the floor It’s a fast road in, and a long road out Crowded in this room the get well soon balloons Fragile are the words, that go unheard You can feel the lightning in your hands when autumn changes all your plans it’s alright, your alright Just walk away It’s ok, your ok Just walk away

I Am Golden 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I am golden All I ever see is you I must be golden Cause all I ever see is you I see her in my sleep at night Don’t worry we’re not all tied up but we’re listening to the wind listening to the wind Rolled out with some heavy limbs couldn’t find my cup held out caught a later train it’s just my luck… I listened to the wind listened to the wind I am golden All I ever see is you I must be golden Cause all I ever see is you Her linen folds in record time The yellow sun pours through the morning blinds she’s listening to the wind just listening to the wind

Clay Allison 03:58
lyrics
buy track
My daddy was not what gunfighter’s dream to be On the Pecos River he was raisin’ up a family He was herdin’ longhorns across the line while writing’ my ma, back in Cimarron I guess you could say they, were meant to be My daddy was not what gunfighter’s dream to be He had a past that stirred up, a tale or two from the Tennessee border to Santa Fe but the papers were writin’, what they knew they could sell Up in Colfax County on the open range there’s a war You’ve got the Santa Fe Ring that’s stealing’ the land of the poor In steps Allison, with his 44 He puts Griego down, on the hotel floor Just one more killer, seeking revenge It was only Clay who knew, in that Colfax War he’d taken 3 men’s lives, and not a single more But papers were printing, what they surely could sell My daddy was not what gunfighter’s dream to be On the Pecos River he was raisin’ up a family Allison was not what, gunfighter’s dream to be Allison was not what, gunfighter’s dream to be

Outer Space 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Are you from outer space another time or place where years have passed and turned to stone Don’t tell me you’re up and down and life’s a merry-go-round The sun comes up and the birds still sing So stop and take in, the moon and stars tonight and grab your lifeline, hold on with all your might Yet high in the air we breath without a care… awe we care Through all that we’ve seen and all that we dreamed it could be… awe could it be So open up and let the darkness shine No rhyme or reason all things pass in time

In My Peripheral 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Get in the car we’re going down to the river there was a time when I didn’t know better We’re not alone, not alone To follow suite, well I don’t really follow They follow me right down into the hollow I’m not alone I know they’re watching me If I turn to look, they will be gone They’re in my peripheral Oh my God, I just left my body took the stairs and walked into the lobby stay with me now Got in the car and ended up in the river One of the times I should’ve known better We’re not alone, we’re not alone I know they’re watching me If I turn to look, they will be gone They’re in my peripheral I know they’re watching me If I turn to look, they will be gone They’re in my peripheral

about

“Dr Caw returns with the followup to his first self-titled release, wielding his singular point of view with a heightened sense of identity.  Drawing largely from roots-rock, country, and singer-songwriter traditions, "Murdered Ghosts & Other Victims" dispatches a medley of lucid reflection and offbeat storytelling, set to an oft gothic backdrop.  Distinctive song-craft, rich production, and sonic polish frame earnest, soulful performances, in service of Dr Caw's most realized effort to date."
