Pigeons 03:59
Pigeons – Ben Burns Often times these nights will end in front of me Sleeping in our coat our throats are sunderly We can see where our knees hit the road Running free through the empty tree grove He built his bed small so he could sleep alone High above the pigeons and the telephones Out at sea where the cedar boats row Down the breeze from the places we’ve known He believes that the circles do flow Round his head leaned against the window All I’ve become is the sum of everyone And our feet grow tired when lonely is the standard From all of what I’ve seen of your dancing on the screen Still I do believe we may be better strangers I know life ain’t lonely but lonesome And I’d spread my love like fire if I owned some Then one day I would take your fingers From the cheeks that grin to speak these wrong words If the city spits them whole then they’ll be bound to roam If we can catch them while their skin is still tight round their bones Then we’ll see how the leaves blow tumbling From the holes in concrete streets we live in That we tripped inside while we were fumbling With all your keys so we could let you back in All I’ve become is a monger for the sunlight Through the cracks in walls where lonely is the standard From all of what I’ve seen of your dancing so obscene Still I do believe we may be better strangers

Deep Blue Eyes – Holly McGarry Take me back To the day when I Nearly drowned In your deep blue eyes The air was warm, restless and I watched the words fall from your lips The waves were crashing all around me When time starts moving too fast I start to lose my grip on the past And I would trade all my yesterdays For one more day with you I don’t know Which way we are being pulled But the stars are sewn into the sky To guide us on our way Down down into your arms Down down below the waves Take me back To the day when i Nearly drowned In your deep blue eyes When time starts moving too fast I start to lose my grip on the past But I would trade all my yesterdays For one more day with you

Beautiful Pain – Ben Burns August keeled over, the key to the fall Outstretched in his sun-dipped and calloused right hand Dead on the threshold of outside and in How the sirens wailed high How the rains came again Now I’m not afraid of the two-wheeled machine That now I find rumbling under my feet Who said a hilltown could bury the song Of the life that he sold that his boy may stand strong? Six one dollar bills American skills The carpenter’s boy Seven long dreary days Fifty-two ways To die without pay How to break even when the work is all gone? I was born to live full, never meant to live long Take care of mother when it falls in my lot That I rise to my own with the peace that I sought See that the fire is stoked in the dawn You’re the man of the house now my body’s gone Lord let me die with a hammer in hand too When the flood finally comes I can watch from the roof Six one dollar bills American skills The carpenter’s boy Two long dreary years The flesh disappears The houses still stand See the dollar, it kills Cities to mills The carpenter’s boy Seven long dreary days Fifty two ways In beautiful pain

Catacombs 04:00
Catacombs – Holly McGarry/Chris Bloniarz/Benjamin Burns Sing to them Deep in the catacombs they already know your name Know your name Quickly now The shadows grown on and on, And on and on in your soul In your soul All of those nights spent pacing the floors All of those wishes that just washed ashore All of those letters that all went unsent They’re sorry too Did you know There are bones piled up in the lake at third street pier? No one hears They’ll sing to you All night long and on and on, And on through the years A song to the stars All of those nights spent pacing the floors All of those wishes that just washed ashore All of those letters that all went unsent They’re sorry too Sing to them Deep in the catacombs they already know your name Know your name All of those nights spent pacing the floors All of those wishes that just washed ashore All of those letters that all went unsent They’re sorry too Sing to them Deep in the catacombs they already know your name

Greenline 02:51
Greenline – Holly McGarry/Ben Burns I used to carry all the world upon my shoulders Just to bring it to your feet Now there’s a ghost who rides the greenline every morning Looks a lot like me It’s been years since you left home Faded pictures on my walls are all that’s left But you still haunt me Now who’s to say what lies beneath this flesh, Hollow bones & and aching heart? The nest we built by hand, twig by twig Just cracked and fell apart Wove your words into my songs Tried to hide all the scars beneath the lines And the lies that you told Never understood your smile as you said, “I miss you but I’m glad that you’re gone” Was it the way good-bye tasted on your lips?
7.
Speculations on Passerby – Ben Burns/Holly McGarry They want to live inside some wooden house Where Junebugs fly and they Could wash their golden hair And sleep through Saturdays There’s something bout the time when night is young And you share an age Reminding them of dreams On sleepy Saturdays Would they find beyond the doors The life that they asked for Or would they see that it’ s just me? Summertime inside their blue jeans
8.
Thick as Blood – Holly McGarry Tell me where it all went wrong We had ties thick as blood Thick as nails but all the tales we told Turned out wrong Tell me where you lost your way Will I find you there someday? I don’t know which way you’re going I don’t know what path I’m on But I’m out here, I am searching And I’ll search till the dawn Say what you will but I’ll be fine Say what you will to make it through the night The moon is lonely but the seas are calm This is for the father and the son It'll all pass, it'll all get easier with time It’s been a long while lay your arms down And rest your weary minds Rest your weary minds
9.
Watershed 04:51
Watershed – Chris Bloniarz Little did they know That every afternoon of Hanging out, getting by Did you once wonder why Little came to be Of all the inspiration Flowing out, going 'round Back and forth in a cloud Of data racing through our minds Waiting to be realized Briefly entertained before it died Even with the best intentions There's no telling Up against the watershed We turn the tide Will we see the day When all the schemes and dreams Will come alive in real time Rather than your alibis Smothering the flame Before it ever even Got a breath of the air Fan the fire if you dare Watch it burn, overturn Any self-defeating urge Thought combusting catalyzing wave Even with the best intentions There's no telling Up against the watershed We turn the tide Feedback loops that we're entrenched in Lying softly Time will tell if we'll prevail And finally see I don't know what will become of me Everything I think could be misleading me Oh I thought we had it right Well at least I know I tried For a time

Chipping Away the Paint (Reprise) – Chris Bloniarz/Holly McGarry Something always calls me back Blue and bright a crackle and a stutter Static ringing just behind my ears Where’s the soul that made a home Of flesh and bone the shadow of another Much has passed although you really tried I have always been afraid Of watching you slip away You can’t change what cannot be saved I don’t want to always want to be afraid Of watching you slip away Days they fall and time it fades to grey Chipping away the paint As if there was a word to say There was a word to say

about

Honeysuckle Saratoga Springs, New York

Swirling synth pop meets traditional folk storytelling. Honeysuckle’s sixth studio release, Shadow Dance, encapsulates feelings of nostalgia, loss and hope.
The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two criss cross through our lives.
