lyrics
Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra - Cold Canary Gas Light
He reads like a bible, acts just like a birdcage,
roars like an engine, dying out on burnt rage,
you can blow out all the candles and fire up the lime light,
she looks through him with the cold canary gaslight.
Oh sister, don't you look at what I've done.
Father's at the front door, dusting off the floor mat,
brittle like his thick bark and tired like his old hat,
He used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man,
said he walked on water he was dancing on quicksand.
Oh father, don't you look at what I've done.
You see me tearing up the floor boards, white sheets covered you,
fire in my eyes and water pouring through the roof.
you heard I found a mine shaft, digging past midnight,
I crawled into the dark with the cold canary gaslight.
I tried to throw a rope down and didn't feel it pull back,
dead canary chirping now, cold blood in pitch black.

Raw and compelling Americana. Flavors of gothic styles such as Sixteen Horsepower, or progressive styles like Patrick Watson (Wooden Arms hits my heartstrings), or classics like CSNY. Words fall short, but there is a rhythmic simplicity that is paired with haunting melody to make this something special. Lute FP
