Yonder Distant Shore, 2010

from In The Shadow of the Bull (Bonus Edition) by David Lowery

  • In the Shadow of the Bull Limited Edition CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    In the Shadow of the Bull
    David Lowery

    The CD DOES NOT CONTAIN THE BONUS TRACK. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION CD. LESS THAN 50 REMAINING.

    This is the first installment of a multi-disc musical autobiography. I do this not so much to tell my own story but rather to pay tribute to my mother, father, sisters, family, friends, and those who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload to SoundCloud YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.

lyrics

Yonder Distant Shore

We live upon this island for a brief uncertain time
The sea may rise a storm may come
and drown us in the waves

I walked along the dock one night
my father he was frail
the ferryman said “father
I'd be glad to take you home”

Saw your brother who was murdered
twas not the devils trick I swear
he waits there with your mother
on yonder distant shore

I was away in the Spanishtown
when the ferryman returned
he took away my father
left my mother in the church

My mother she was lonely
she slowly slipped away
her memories fled across the sea to yonder distant shore

Then returned the ferryman
he promised her life returned
to take her to my father
in his army uniform

We live up this island for a brief uncertain time
the sea may rise a storm may come
and take us by and by
