about

When you go to a place you've never been and where your ancestors lived, and you meet living flesh and blood, and they send you back to America with their beautiful family guitar, made in the hometown of your ancestors, that is a life-changing moment worthy of more than one song. But this is the one dedicated to that precious gift, and all that comes with it.

lyrics

Words & music 2019 ©Catalooch Music, BMI

It sits here in my living room, on the stand with window view,
somehow the strings stretch out of sight, wrap softly round the words I write
I cannot tell you what it means, family ghosts and ancient dreams,
in moments where the veil is thin, I feel their presence beckoning

Chorus 1:
Like a king returned his family sword
Torn battle flag or coat of arms,
and gold coin in a peasant's palm,
All the things I might become,
with this gift of family

A double helix crossed the sea, part of you the same as me
the proof is singing in my hands, magic sound from distant lands
On some far-off moonlit night, long after I have passed from sight
Will it still know these songs I weave, held in hands not yet conceived

The papers on my table, the lines that fill my head
a spirit-conjured melody, mystically surrounding me

Final chorus:
Like a king returned his father's sword
Torn battle flag or coat of arms,
Gold coins in a peasant's hand,
All the things that I now am
