april vigil by the river
my god my heart's a slow forgiver
I'm gonna wait here by the water
til you tell me why I should bother
my generation are all addicts
and I'm so numb that it's not tragic
but I saw a nuthatch chip the tree bark
so this machine is made of magic
after all

Looking over the horizon
Spot something that chills my bones
My father taught me there are some things
That a body leaves alone
Still there’s beauty in a dog’s eyes
As he roams the endless road
And there’s wonder when we capsize
On a forgotten chestnut grove
There is always someone looking
Over a shoulder you can’t see
And you’re always moving backwards
From the person you will be
Live the questions so said Rilke
May I do so till I die
And may we rain down tender mercy
Until the oceans all run dry

desperate for love
never enough
taught me to hate
now it’s too late
you are my only option
desperate for love
never enough
desperate for love
do what you want
never give up
if it’s your only option
do what you want
you are my only option
desperate for love
be my own god
you’re not my only option
take what you want
desperate for love
while I’m surrounded by it
take what you want
you never have to buy it
ready for love
you are my only option
desperate for love

Witness Minneapolis, Minnesota
Witness is a garage-country/jazz-fusion/rock-n-roll power trio from Minneapolis, MN. Our new travelogue album just passing through is a mix of full-band and solo arrangements of songs Gabe wrote while on a six-week solo road trip last year. Loud guitars and heavy drums intersperse with minimalist piano and banjo for a rollicking journey through heartbreak and back. ... more
