lyrics

THE BIRD THAT LIVED IN A BURNING TREE

Who made night so
Black like coal
Who made the world disappear in smoke
Little bird I do not know
Cold wind blow
Make you weep and moan
Why is this bough my home
Because that's the one you chose
Everybody has to choose

Don't look down now
You think you've seen it all
Is it any wonder in a sky so small
Little bird is that my fault
Why so blue
What are you holding onto
So you've been to the edge of the world and cooed
Now what are you gonna do
You are only passing through

about

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
