First light is beaming
off your skin
And it reminds you of a time back when
Your troubles were free and your hair was long
Yeah, you carried the weight, because, you were strong
Now the color of darkness is beaming bright
And it leads you deep into the night
where lay mirrored shadows of the marks we've made
We are a wild as the horses mane.
Now, dirt roads take the shape of veins
Since she set fire to the lonely plains
and we run like foxes in the twilight sun
Yeah we run, we run, we run, we run
Yeah we run, we run, we run, we run

It's simple enough to forget what we've seen
Yeah well, there ain't no plan for changing
And the saints will mistake what the sinners haven't been
Yeah but, who here can really point a finger
Let me lay out where the dim lights can't reach
So I can lead you down to the shadows beneath
And in the dark soil
I'll bury my rows
So I can lead you down the path I chose
Maybe you can see beyond these eyes made of stone
Into the valley, where the hills are made of gold
Let my soul rest where the green grass don't grow
So I can cherish these desert sands I've come to know.

Tired

Theres a loneliness coming over you
Yeah, I've been down
We can find a diamond in the coal
before your love runs out
Leave the gate unlocked
So I can come and go
I'll stay out of the way
'Cause I'm kind of lost
Yeah, I'll work doubles just to pay the rent
I was raised a poor boy
So money's better when it's spent
I know it's tough to re-define all our flaws
We're running circles around the heavy setting sun
And I've grown tired
Let me sing a song to you
Delicately gleaming
Into those fiery eyes
Believe me when I tell you
I'm tired
Let me slip into the night
Just to blame the sorrow
And if you'd show me the lines to cross
and who to follow
The cold coyote sings to me into the night
and the cold coyote sings to me into the night
He says I'm tired

Night Walker

When the sun hits the sea
Shadows dance on the hills
and the night walker sleeps
I found you in a north country town
You said, lets run for the hills but, we were washed out in whiskey.
As soon as the tide let us float in the bay
We swam out past the rocks
I fell in love with a California girl
Yeah, she used me up, tossed me down, cut me deep, and hung me out.
Let the poets stand proud
Singing love songs in the rain
Until the stage lights go out
Give me the silver-stained dowry you swore
and let the painters put color, back where it belongs
With the wind 'neath your feet
you'll be flying away
Tell the angels of the dust
I'm bettin' I'll be back someday
but let be what is, ships sailing away

The Desert Kind Portland, Oregon
The Desert Kind is the brainchild of Portland-based songwriter Chris Bigley. Beginning as a mostly unplugged Americana outfit, Bigley shifted gears in 2015, stripping the live presentation to a duo--himself and bassist J Elwood Johncox, and emboldening their material with pulsing kick drums and crackling electric guitars. Anchored by Bigley’s writing, the band marches onward. ... more
