lyrics

A brutal sun, an august breeze

Shook the ribbons in the dogwood trees

Branches bowed in the wake of the thunder

We shrank from the sky of an angry summer



Tell me you love me, I'd probably miss it

Show me again and I still wouldn't get it

Years after, I can wait on a punch line

Haven't changed so much, except I'm trying



Laid low

Beyond

Below

Just a memory now

Distant as a cloud over Idaho



In the eye of a hurricane

Staring there you’ll feel safe again

While the whole damn world

Splinters with rain

You'll spend all your days

Getting whole again



Who mends your wounds, bends your will

Holds your hair when the poison makes you ill

Who wrapped your world in a silver ring

Who makes the cage bird sing

Who blots the ink from her wings

The High and Wides image

The High and Wides Baltimore, Maryland

The High & Wides draw on their backgrounds in bluegrass to take the music to a place of their own with inspiration from the days when old-time, rockabilly, western swing, and proto-rock'n'roll mingled in a murky soup of hillbilly string band music.
