TWINE Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2016, South for Winter Darling you will go, how I wish you would stay I’ve made a little home of sticks and clay Don’t let it wash away Darling I will love you, even when you leave I can hear the wind running through the trees Don’t let it catch your wings For underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I hold you, my darling, with a bit of twine But it don’t make you mine And underneath the darkness where we lie We pretend that it won’t soon unwind For I am not your kind Darling I can’t fight, just bury it in sand Hold back all my love, build up this dam You’ll knock it down again For underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I hold you, my darling, with a bit of twine But it’s oh-so-fine And underneath the darkness where we lie We pretend you don’t long for the sky For I am not your kind, kind, kind Ooo, no, I am not your kind Ooo, no, I’m the one that builds, you break, you fly, Ooo, oh, I am not your one and only Just a place to call home for the time No, I am not yours I am not the one that’ll make you sing I’ll give you the warmth, the shade, the trees But that’s not what you need And underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I’ll cut you loose, and you’ll take flight For I am not your kind, kind, kind Ooo, no, I am not your kind Ooo, no, and the dam comes down, the rivers rise Ooo, oh, I am not your Ooo, oh, ooo, I am not your Ooo, oh, I am not yours

All We Have 04:26
ALL WE HAVE Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter All we have is what we need Where the sky touches the sea We walk a line, we walk a line All we have are grains of sand, Falling through these open hands You can’t rewind an hourglass of time Hm, hm All we know is what we’ve seen In those we’ve met, places we’ve been So do we know much of anything? But if this is all, all we’ll have A path to walk with no going back If this is all, all we’ll have Well, it’s enough for us We burn too bright from the start Like the stars, we fall too far But we rise with the night And if this is all, all we’ll have A path to walk with no going back If this is all, all we’ll have Well, it’s enough for us And all our steps wash away with the tides What will we know, when the hourglass runs dry? Oh, all our steps wash away with the tides Where will we go, when the moon divides day from night? But if this is all, all we’ll have A path to walk with no going back If this is all, all we’ll have Well, it’s enough for us Oh, it’s enough for us

TEN BLACK CROWS Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter Ten black crows, circling overhead Noose around his neck “Any last requests?” Ten black crows, circling overhead “Any final words?” Is what the hangman says

TEN BLACK CROWS Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter Air line road No town for miles That iron horse, she’d ride, Filling the air with her cries ’Til hell came down in a cloud of dust Ain’t no way to run, From a quick shot with a loaded gun And he stood and watched the sky run red, “God help you now,” he said As ten black crows circled overhead Single bullet left “Any last requests?” Ten black crows circled overhead “Any final words?” Is what the gunman said A trail of gold ain’t hard to follow Can’t hide among the willows With your name on their tongues, Face on each town post And though his hands were quick to the trigger The odds, they paid no favors Ten guns around, so he laid his down And stood and watched the sky run red, “God help you now,” they said As ten black crows circled overhead Single bullet left “Any last requests?” Ten black crows circled overhead “Any final words?” Is what the townsmen said “Take him down to the hangman’s tree, Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be Take him down to the hangman’s tree” Oh, take him down (Ten black crows, circling overhead) Take him down to the hangman’s tree, Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be (Ten black crows) Take him down to the hangman’s tree, Oh, take him down (Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be) Take him down, take him down (Take him down to the hangman’s tree) Ten black crows circling overhead Noose around his neck “Any last requests?” Ten black crows circling overhead “Any final words?” Is what the hangman says

Fallen Seeds 03:41
FALLEN SEEDS Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2016, South for Winter Mama, let the waters cleanse your soil Mama, let them wash your children’s spoils Sister, place your weapons on the ground Sister, don’t need to fire your last round Let the waters rise, And put out the fire in your eyes Brother, wash the stains from your hands Brother, let this land be sacred again Let the waters rise, And put out the fire in your eyes Strip this valley to the bones Wash the dirt from every stone Mother, watch the waves recede, And take your sorrows out to sea Oo, oo Children, take the seeds from fallen trees Children, don’t make the same mistakes as we From our ashes, rise But keep the fire from your eyes Strip this valley to the bones Wash the blood from every stone Children, use those fallen seeds To leave a better legacy

DEVIL IS A’CALLING Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter Lord, cleanse my soul in the riverbed Let the waters rise up Let the waters rise up I'm saying, “Lord, oh, Lord, Wash this from my hands” I met the devil by the tree Didn't know where it would lead Oo, oo Well my love, he never did lie nor cheat Never did no wrong by the Lord nor me 'Til he took a walk through the garden one day Heard a whisper, had a taste Felt that fire water in his veins And I was saying, "Oh, devil is a'calling Oh, will you go a'walking? Oh, devil is a'calling, What will you do, my darling?” Well, his tongue only craved it more with time Soon wasn't I, but a bottle he was sleeping by So I took a walk through the garden one night Met a shadow on the way Oh, I never meant to go astray And the Lord was saying, “Oh, devil is a'calling Oh, will you go a'walking? Oh, devil is a’calling What will you do, my darling?” (Oh, oh, oh) With fire on my lips I didn't hear the sound Of the door swung wide Feet crossed the ground (Come with me, love) With fire on my lips (Take another step) I didn't hear the sound (Walk with me) Of the door swung wide (Through the gates) His feet crossed the ground (Come with me, love) With hell on his breath (Take another step) Steel in his hand (Walk with me) I didn't hear him fire it But I felt the lead Oh, devil is a'calling Oh, will you go a'walking? Oh, devil is a’calling Devil is a'calling Oh, will you go a'walking? Oh, devil is a’calling (Oo)

ALWAYS YOU Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter Oh, my love, when I lose my hold When my eyes forget their youth When the wind’s worn down these bones Oh, there’s always you And when the velvet skies grow cold When the stars fade out too soon When I wake in fear of ghosts Oh, there’s always you For it’s you Revives my soul When I’m worn through Oh, it’s always you Should the blood red tides run o’er Should our nightmares all come true Should we lose this holy war I know there’ll still be you For it’s you Revives my soul When I’m worn through Oh, it’s always you With fire untamed, You break my chains Shake me awake You with your strong ways How your love tastes Sweeter than the summer rains, Hmmm Oh my love, the skies are growing colder Oh, my love, I need you more than ever Oh, my love, the winds might blow me over Oh, my love, I need you more than ever Oh, my love, when I lose my hold When my eyes forget their youth When the wind’s worn down these bones Oh, there’s always you For it’s you Revives my soul When I’m worn through Oh, it’s always you For it’s you That leads me home When I’m worn through It’s always you

ALL I WANNA DO Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2016, South for Winter Pull the shades down on those eyes, Misty in the morning light Foreign is your skin against mine But sweet is the time spent learning its lines Take off your leaving shoes, We’ve got nothing but time to lose All I wanna do Hoo, baby, is love you All I wanna do Hoo, baby, is love you Leave your worries scattered across the floor They can wait a day or more Hush, little darling, When your words fall short Let your touch do all the talk Take off your leaving shoes We’ve got nothing but time to lose All I wanna do Hoo, baby, is love you Take off your leaving shoes We’ve got nothing but time to lose All I wanna do Hoo, baby, is love you All I wanna do Hoo, baby, is love you All I wanna do All I wanna do

BLACK WIDOW IN WHITE LACE Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2018, South for Winter Oh, black widow in white lace Painted smile on her lips Oh, left six miles from heaven Searching for her innocence Oh, black widow in white lace Judgment was swift and unkind, And not one of two thousand tongues did Defend her life When the silence fell Over those holy rivers Her voice rang out These words, she delivered: “I’ll take them down with me Take them down, take your sins For the devil to keep Take them down with me” Oh, black widow in white lace Can’t find rest beneath the ground And so she carries beyond the grave Secrets of a ghost town And when the silence falls Over those holy rivers Her voice rings out These words, she delivers: “I’ll take them down with me Take them down, take your sins For the devil to keep Take them down with me” Oh, when it’s time for your penance I'll bring to hell your confessions (I’ll take them down with me) Cleanse all the guilt from those hands of red (Take them down, for the devil to keep) Oh, beg the devil’s forgiveness Ahh, ahh Take them down, Take them down with me Take them down, Take them down with me Ahh, ahh

STONE Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone Copyright 2016, South for Winter Oh, painted skies Mirrored in the tides The day your love passed mine I let it drift on by I let it drift on by Oh, the day you went I play it in my head My mind begged you not to go But my feet were stone, stone And as stone I’ll remain here Where the rivers meet the sea Where you used to go to breathe, breathe Where the heavens kiss the shore I’ll be waiting for you just a little more, more Ooo, ooo Oh, alabaster arms They need your warmth The days move like the waves And still I stay, stay Where the rivers meet the sea Where you used to go to breathe, breathe Where the heavens kiss the shore I’ll be waiting for you just a little more, more Ooo, ooo Ahhh, ahh Where the rivers meet the sea Where you used to go to breathe, breathe Where the heavens kiss the shore I’ll be waiting for you just a little more, more (Ooo, ooo) I’ll be waiting for you just a little more, more (Ahh, ahh) I’ll be waiting for you just a little more, more Stone, stone
