Letters Kept To Ourselves

by The Native Sibling

supported by

Alex Marra Impossible to pick a favourite. Every song is brilliant. Awesome album :)

Don Soper Great songs, done very well. These two can sing & play. I got the signed CD and along with it a note (written with a Sharpie) from Kaylee thanking me, now that's "class". Hope they swing by Atlanta someday so I may see a concert. Favorite track: Darkest of Night Skies.

1.	Darkest of Night Skies 03:55	lyrics	buy track
One cool autumn night lying in the woods held by the fire Flames staring at your face Hollowing your eyes telling what you aspire Oh, oh Oh, oh Chorus Have we met here in the passing Led here by all happenstance Here I’m walking under darkest Darkest of the night skies Darkest of the night skies Oh, oh Oh, oh Family try to understand Buried in your hand held close beside you Care taken in the North Follow what is torn in the lows we pass through. Chorus Have we met here once forthcoming Noted that the stars aligned What is now and all that’s happened We’re dancing under the night sky Darkest of the night sky Oh, oh Oh, oh Dancing under the night sky Dancing under the night sky Dancing under the night sky Oh, oh Oh, oh Darkest of the night skies Darkest of the night skies
2.	Carry You 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I see where you’ve been Stuck in your doubt I know where you are and I’m coming to bail you out Engulfed in your sin And what you have known I know where you are and I’m coming to carry you home Oh, oh Oh, oh In comfort I hold Unstable at most Leading to choices I knew I would later disown They won’t go on their own and pearls on my brow Work left in my hands if only I could use them now Oh, oh Oh, oh All of the troubles that you push aside now Are no longer your stories to tell All of the words that never left your mouth Are no longer what’s holding you down All of the troubles that you push aside now Are no longer your stories to tell All of the words that never left your mouth Are no longer what’s holding you down I’ll carry you home I’ll carry you home
3.	Here With Me 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Every night when I wake up A thought never could be Sometimes then I make up That you’re right here with me Right here with me Chorus Any morning could be your final flight When it’s over the sun may never rise Time will take us when we run the river dry You’re right here with me Right here with me Clock calls it a new day Dirt roads and the gray skies Sparrow sings us through heartbreak When you’re right here with me Right here with me Chorus Take it fast Take it with out aim Moving slow, but its all the same Take it easy Oh, there’s no one to blame When you’re right here with me Right here with me Chorus
4.	Let The Water Rise 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Let the water rise, rise and suffocate the cave Teardrop from your eyes, eyes hit the shore like a wave Let the water fall, fall to a tower fully grown Your words hit the wall, wall held your worries unknown. Hold your teeth closed, close call from underneath I hear the wind blow your song, so short so sweet Let the water rise, rise fill the valley below Covering the walls, bury worries with bone Stay alive Oh, oh hold yourself Page we read to uphold itself Stay tonight Oh, oh hold yourself Stay alive
5.	Evening's Wake 03:53	lyrics	buy track
As the glaze covers my eyes A corner goes unrecognized Walking down the street alone By what means we try to gain Set the table say our grace For those who know will know that they’re needed Never known a man too proud to say it It’s true we keep them in our reach For the times when we will know that we need them Chorus There is hope that it will change With the turning of another day I won’t go back, back to them With the weight of winter’s hint We try to so hard to bury it I won’t go back, back to them Until the evening awakes Oh, oh. Oh, oh. And I know now to refrain From all I had once meant to say For written words hold proof to those who read them Chorus With the fear you never meant You try to hard to buy it I won’t go back, back to them Until the evening awakes. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. I won’t go back, back to them Until the evening awakes.
6.	Right Here For You 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Holding in the sky you’ll see light fading in the east Empty house we’ll pack our bags Only memories at last Oh, I’m right here for you Oh, there’s nothing left to see Oh, I’m right here for you There’s a stranger next to me The road ahead may have its bends We’re singing to the ode There are no plans that lay unchanged Lead to many of unknowns Chorus Chorus
7.	Place to Rest / Keep on Running 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Its been some time since I’ve seen you An embrace filled with the comfort of those well known You suffered something of the heart that you told me But those times they were twofold Chorus How long must we wait until we know How long must we talk before one of us goes How long must I search for truth some place to rest my soul You kept on running honey, its what you know You’re depending on the past now we’ve seen it Only half learned from what we’re told As one marks one decision My body casts its shadows Chorus Keep on running, honey Keep on running, honey Keep on running, honey Its what you know Keep on running, honey Keep on running, honey Keep on running, honey Its what you know
8.	Oh, Sing 02:25	lyrics	buy track
Evenings we have gathered here Comfort songs, rows and pairs To hear the tales of old Lessons learned again retold Chorus Oh, sing Sing my soul As all the years foretold To hear the rings that change Oh, sing Oh, sing my soul Waters that had once been clear Are darker now, divert my stare Visions came in the night Never seen from my own eyes Chorus When I come back come back Will you be there be there When I come back come back Will you be there be there Chorus
9.	Skin & Bone 04:00	lyrics	buy track
As our breath lies with no amends Rivers that run true Can’t wait wash these hands Skin and bone Last storm blows Humble Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Rows for miles seems to leave content Even the spaces Beginning to the end Skin and bone Last storm blows Humble Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Letters we kept to ourselves Under snow will only dwell Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
10.	All Remains 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Sleeping with a ghost inside you Falling of the ashes feels new Mama kept you all a secret To mention it would break to keep it All, all remains All, all remains Whisper to me ever softly Singing birds we cannot see Let me stay inside your garden Remember only what it has been All, all remains All, all remains Promises the sun shines for me Trickle from the tall trees Father, daughter hold up tightly Close your eyes breath so lightly All, all remains All, all remians
