lyrics

If you place your soul in my hands
Will I form it, twist it, shape it
Fill it up with innocence?
If we raise our minds to the sky
Can we reach the highest heights
Or should we even try?

And I wonder where I’m going
Though I do not wonder why
Drowning in this pool of light
That translates all your lies.
Wonder where I’m going tonight
Because . . .

(chorus) I can’t face this universe alone
Smoke pouring from each chimney but my own.
Can’t decipher runes etched into stone
I can’t face this universe alone.

If there’s some wisdom to your heart
Can I pour it, drink it, use it
In my craft or sullen art?
If your body grieves for my touch
Garland it with sweetest flowers
Petals raining from above.

Chorus

about

Father Sage Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We are five dudes who love to play music. We’re all fathers, some more sage than others. Also I love the smell of wild sage. We are:
Jim Hart (keyboards and vocals); Alex Hershey, Esq. (guitar that leads); Dr. Joy (bass and vocals); Douglas King (guitar and vocals); Alan Mosovsky (drums).
We play a tasteful blend of originals and covers, in the style of The Byrds, Wilco, and Neil Young.
