There were three of us left
You, me and the ghost
of the little boy that played with matches
Goodbye God! Are we really staying here in Bodie?
Was there anyone here
or was it just me?
Everything here looks the same
Bodie
I'm lonely at home
How could you let me go?
There's nowhere else for me
Lonely alone with you here
is the loneliest place I've ever known
I was promised Gold
I wish I could taste that coffee
It looks good but it's gone to dust
Oh good, by god, are we really staying here in Bodie?
Am I trying to change
or did it just happen?
Am I bored when you talk
or am I not listening...
Bodie
I'm lonely at home
How could you let me go?
There's nowhere else for me
Lonely at home with you here
Is the loneliest place I've ever known
I was promised Gold
I was promised Gold! I was promised more!
Is there life? Is it a dream?
The more that I kick up the dust the harder it is to see
The less that I can see
I'll scratch the itch
I'll pick the seam
until there's nothing left for you.. and me.
I was promised Gold
I was promised Gold!

A lovely album from start to finish. So good I bought it twice ( first digitally , then on CD ) . Immediately before writing this little blurb I also got the t-shirt. Standout song writing and a beautifully resonant voice. Poormonger
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
So good, it takes me every time i hear it... to hear it live in Leeds, was brilliant. Such a wonderfully put together song... one of my favourites magicmarker28
