Cottonwood

Stand the hollow cottonwood, Stand the forest tall and steady where our lips began to push, where our hands first learned to carry
Part the promise from my throat, everybody’s out there changing
Sister, Sister come, there’s a Holy Kingdom waiting
It seems as though you’ve always been around, but I am hardly listening
I am growing older, growing weary of my constant wandering

Winter’s ending
I’ve been gone for some time
I’ll ride northbound on the western line
I’ll see you again when the cold nights are over
I was lost
In the dead of night
You were indoors, out of the bitter cold
Silent stars watched over my wandering heart
A photograph is all that lasts long
With glory years and quiet fears gone
When summer days are far away
You can dream of skies and lover’s eyes
Blue
Spring came calling with the rain, and the trees grew
Against my view
I tried to decide how to tell you
But the clouds fade
The birds offered to wait
Until I see you
See you
See you
See blue

Fire kept you live, and kept your faith to be an honest one
You were kept inside a bourbon cage
Do what your mother should say
Crooked dandelion, a grayish paint, to be an artist some day
It’s in your blood, its in your mouth
But honey nothing’s the same
Fifteen meters out, could feel the swells, as they swept you
underneath the clouds, a sudden plunge
but this is all we should take
I felt it too
Felt, Felt
Hold, A steepened blue
Swallow
It all fell through

You’re the sum of everything I think, while I am lying fast asleep
I let you in and let you speak, what a fool I can be
Untied my purpose over time, and to everyone it’s no surprise
I guess not to me
When I said I’ll plant this soul of mine
on the steadiest rock I find
I will finally see
That though my illness hides behind these gleaming eyes
I’ll learn to see
You were a feeling, I could assume
It just the way you’re moving, When you’re moving me
Caught me up dreaming, I was a student
Out betting on the future watching people move on
People moving on

Sleepwalk
03:46

Sink or swim is the only way I learn
If I play with fire i’m bound to get burned
But I don’t want to hurt myself
If it can be helped
And I don’t want to be with people better than myself
And I’ll see you
I can see in the dark now
And I’ll hear you
I can speak from the heart now
And I’ll be there
I can walk in my sleep now
The fire’s on the outside of the wall
I think i’ve come to the end of my rope
I’m sick of waiting on the promises and hope
But I don’t want to hurt myself
If it can be helped
And I don’t want to be with people better than myself

When we were alone, it didn’t bother me
Did what we could to keep our bodies clean
But I see spirits, I see imagery
And It hardly mattered what you said to me
Exchanging bits of colored plastic
Windshield wipers, Johnny Cash hits
Play me the one your older brother likes
The one that keeps us both awake at night
Something born, something tragic
As if our time was meant for lasting
The day you found out he took everything
And said, “The Lord has something new for me.”
Maybe it’s alright
Maybe it’s alright
It’ll come around
End alright

Passing Light

Said it wouldn’t break if it could bend
And I knew you were the only one who meant it
So we split it backwards over the fence
Hoping we’d learn some kind of lesson
Is it worth losing all your best friends
I put it in the backseat like I promised
In between the stereotypes and tonic
Parked your car you said, “Be honest,
Is this the life you always wanted?
And do you want it now?”
Cause i’ve been up all evening
Lying awake, Trying to escape
All my time spent chasing dreams I’d lost in the wake
Lost in the space between us
I saw it in your eyes, on your way out
You were always a passing light
A vision in the night, with the lights out
Don’t we all see something
Don’t pass me by on your way down
On your way out
Don’t pass me by on your out

Down, I stuck around
Looking for something that was understandable
Bound by color and sound
You traded places with that ancient mystery boat
As if it makes a difference I could’ve sworn
You heard the living voice of God
That consequential visit
Night your truck broke down and you almost came along
Now, you’re moving out
To somewhere less vacant and that’s understandable
Doubt, ole stutterin’ doubt
But you and your girl saw the whole thing tangible
Now the family’s back in Phoenix making a diagram
Of everything you said you knew
And you’ve been up all evening hoping you could
Drink it off cause it’s what you’re used to
I believe we all resolve to something
A revolution’s season come to end
We blame it all on trivial feeling
Only till it comes to life again
Lying with your face down like a promise
Was there something in the moment you desired?
Was there something I could say to make you feel it?
Is there something at the moment keeping you alive?

Where It Went
04:28

Give me a reason, give me a chance to get down off the fence
And it fell through the ceiling in fire and healing and consequence
And I broke like the ocean on the shore of your empty apartment
I couldn’t tell you where it went
But I sure don’t feel it anymore
I’ve heard it’s easy to forget
What you’re out there looking for
What you’re out there looking for
We met the sole Son of David in your parent’s old basement on monday nights
We sang when we meant it and moved when we felt the time was right
Days became weeks became months become visions of afterlife
I couldn’t tell you where it goes
Places and people I know
My peace of mind out on the whipping post
It’s what i’m out here looking for
It’s what i’m out here looking for

The Garden

Meet me in the garden
I’ll wait for you there
Tell me to be faithful
As the rising sun
Oh, i’ll wait for you there
Lead me by the waters
Still as the moon
Oh, they quiet my soul
Wolves are in the garden
I’m not strong enough
When you call, i’ll see you
In the colored light, in the bitter mess
In the hand of time
And you’re spinnin like and Autumn sun,
When i’m calling out
Oh, i’ll wait for you there

Waiting
03:48

I was up against my own resolution
You were set upon another solution
My apology was not what you asked for
When you came down
When you came down
You were waiting for the end of night
Light came flowing out of every constellation
In our silence you held such delight
I was hoping for an open conversation
You desired of the first of my longing
You in spite of me were slow in responding
“Patience, oh my love” is all that you told me
I came around
I came around

Shoecraft Everett, Washington
Shoecraft has patiently carved out a unique sonic identity and is fueled by a passion to contribute to the rich lineage of
artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest.
Their early recordings gently piece together sparse acoustic instrumentation, clearly derivative of their vulnerable beginnings, inspired by the likes of Sufjan Stevens, The Innocence Mission, Andy Hull, and S. Carey.
