lyrics

Deep in the heart, and hidden beneath
At the foot of the Aspen whose brother's did sway
You came to me in the dance of the giants
"Hello old friend..." and what could I say?

(chorus)
Have I sinned again, could I make amends
Of my wandering so far from my home?

Old skeleton town where the ghosts on the frost
Sting on my face, with a numbness they boast
Flames licked the wind, and the wind punched them backed
Both sinners and saints raised their glass in a toast...

I saw you again when I laid down my head
And my lady was with me, gripping my hand
Holding on tightly for fear of the horn
That blasted the silence, and shook all the land...

From deep in the heart of central Arkansas, Balla Dear muses in the medium of Southern Folk, Country Gospel, and Folk Ballad. The themes are evident; peace and solace amidst one's own undoing. Sacrificial love is by far the greatest gift among men. ... more
