lyrics

It's a dark road, when you walk it alone…
When you walk it alone.

The moon is high,
A hard light casts shadows in the valley tonight
I feel old, when it gets this cold.

I have every reason to stay,
But I gotta be on my way.
The nights get longer and I speak
Lower my head & go straight at the sun
To the fire, to the warmth

It's a heavy load to carry alone, carry alone.
I try to speak, but my voice has gone weak, and I don't recognise the sound.
Now a fire has gone cold as I walk through the woods to the road
The nights get longer and I run
Lower my head go straight at the sun

To the fire
To the warmth
To the fire
Straight to the heart

It's a dark road, when you walk it alone…
When it gets this cold.

May Our Chambers Be Full

supported by 16 fans who also own “Straight at the Sun”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
