lyrics
Last night I dreamt of a mourning dove
across the sea from high above, she sang a sweet hosannah
She drifted down on wave and wind lightly on her feathered limb
she brought with her the branch and hymn
to lay at my feet
I laid in the sands I held her in my hands
I wished she were mine to keep
with my wish I spoke, she flew off, I woke
I tried to sing myself back to sleep
I listened for the evening bells where the empty steeples shadow fell
for you were all I ever held
I stood inside the chapel doors I prayed to find the song adored
among the stars I was led to shore
I crawled on my knees
I laid in the sands, I wept in my hands
I wished you'd been mine to keep
with my eyes I closed another wish I spoke
that I would never wake from my sleep
Hush the sound of a rising sun
where days begin when days are done
where bluebells ring when morning comes

If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
Mark Erelli breathes some new life into these tracks which is the idea, I suppose. On first glance, tracks like Against All Odds garner a "Huh?" until you hear it (and stop listening for the iconic drum).
Not a stinker in the bunch, and a crack band to boot (Royal City Band). Dave Polus
