about

This song details the true love of a homeless couple that even though they've lost everything they own they still stick together through thick and thin.

lyrics

Pleased to meet Dan Collins old, blind drunk and falling
He's falling in the street, just trying to find his feet.
And here comes wife Eudora, she can't take much more
but she still follows him around and helps him to the ground

Two opposites together and they're both alone
Nothing gives true love a test like losing all you own
Come tears of loneliness and here comes the rain

So you can hear him saying, "Woman you can put that righteous mess on hold, because I can stand up on my own."
And you can hear her pleading, "Dan now I was only trying to help, so you can go to hell!"

Put love and a bag of dope in a grocery cart
In any universe she'd still have given him her heart
They were always meant to be and that's the truth.

I guess it all depends on where you're coming from
And I guess it all depends on where you've been
I guess it all depends on where you're headed to
When a right turns wrong again

So where you headed to? And can I come with you?
You're such a pretty sigh, sore, light of my life
In all his silliness she still remembers this, a long damn time ago
Back when there were still dark horses out along the open road...

With grocery cart they push out, Broadway up to Craycroft
he's yelling at the cars under Arizona stars

Put love and a bag of clothes in a grocery cart
In any universe he'd still have given her his heart
They were always meant to be and that's the truth.

about

The Long Wait

We play melodic folk rock that sits somewhere between the old school classic folk rock of Fleetwood Mac and the modern country pop of Brandi Carlile. We'd like to think we play music for anyone who can relate to strong harmonies, rich acoustic/electric guitar blends and popular song structure. ... more
