lyrics

All across the valley, dawn
The fluttering of leaves
As a gentle wind,
Mist rolling out from the sea

All around in circles thrown
When feigning to believe
As the faithful gather
Bended at the knee

It's alright, the storm is gone, it's been blown away
You can stand by me
It's ok, the dream is dead so throw it all away
You can burn with me

All alone, the curtain drawn
The fallen at the feet
(Of the victor, spoiled)
Nodding in defeat

All across the valley drawn
To wander through the trees
In search of knowledge
And looking out to the sea

It's alright, the dream is dead so throw it all away
You can burn with me
It's ok, the need is gone, it's been washed away
By all that's pure and free

a song of failure and a song of grief (2008)
by Joey Carbo

Joey — my friend and ally. I defy you to show me a musician with more passion and sincerity. I love this album for its purity of intent and the raw power of the songwriting. Indie music at its best. Melancholy Sunday

daydream, skyline crippled red (2008)
by who by fire

This is the band Joey and I formed so many years ago. This album meant everything at one point — love, faith, vodka, desperation and I think a few broken ribs… Melancholy Sunday
