lyrics

Half moon rise, half moon rise,
saw those wolves with my very own eyes.
They're gone in the morning with the rising tides,
you'd better run cause you can hide.

Cardinal feathers in the sun.
Always on the look-out, always on the run.
Perched so tall in the tree of mine,
calls me close in 4/4 time.

White bark pine, white bark pine,
found a good patch now you're doing fine.
The trade winds came and made you dance all night,
better hold on 'till the morning light.

Green moss grows in the evening rain,
the Hudson River moans that she's in pain.
The smoke stacks set the fog on fire
man, that river looks like she's tired.

The Federales trade for blood,
the illusion of order in this rising flood.
Well, I got the truth and the clothes on my back,
better buy a gun and a shotfgun shack!

White bark pine, white bark pine,
found a good patch now you're doing fine.
The trade winds came and made you dance all night,
better hold on 'till the morning light.

Anchored by Bigley’s writing, the band marches onward. ... more
