lyrics

When she's gone
turn the TV down a touch.
When she's gone
turn out all the lights
and sit alone here in the dark, if you please.

When she returns
there is a light that she is fond of in the hallway upstairs.
The cry of cicadas in the heat stitches you up
and I still don't believe what you said.

When she's gone
no more dry-eyed hiding your soul away upstairs.
Don't be alarmed
if you keep looking to the clock for some reprieve
from the drive-way's steep approach.

When she returns
there is a cup that she is fond of in the kitchen upstairs.
The cry of the door against its hinge stitches you up
and I still don't believe what you said.

When she's gone
you've no space to court the silence anymore.
It just kind of hangs there all around you
like the wisdom of great sages, whispering delicately in your ear.

When she returns
there is a book that she is fond of on the dresser by the door.
The cry of the fan against your skin stitches you up
and I still don't believe what you said.

Songs off this first work would appear in a handful of independent films and had him playing alongside his heroes. Now Dirt Hand is back with a new, deeper concept and a ferocious, improv-based band process. ... more
