don't run for you cannot hide stop trying to shut it up inside that old black dog has come to startle your slow stunned heart I tried to intoxicate I tried to give it church that old black dog is coming round to startle your slow stunned heart the thorns the thorns that tangle on the vine your memory dangles on all sweetness I exhale and the leaves fall to the ground again I've run for a long time and still cannot leave it all behind the high tide has come to startle your low tide heart the wax the wax that coats the tangled vine your memory burn in all the poison it exudes and the earth pulls the moon, and the moon pulls my heart

I've got nothing in my hands there cracked and empty but I got a seed in my heart and if strength in this world its in the cracks and emptys that its going to start i'll take the soils of the fields and the rivers that run through, the dark veins that run free i'm building something, you'll see I see trouble on the way the sky throbs with sadness I see the soil is taut the rivers moving strong ghosts of chaff unlocking, I see the birth, I see the rot and i'll turn the rich soil with a steady loving plow and i'll harness the sea i'm building something, you'll see I've lost some things I've fiercly regret along the inconsolable road things I thought in stone were set the people I've loved the places I've known they're a part of me but there faces have flown with their memory i'm left here alone last night the lines went down the wind whirred and whispered in the moonlit cold so we lit a candle up and watched the shadows romp madly neath a murder of crows if they're trying to tell me something then I don't want to know, its about you, its about me i'm building something, you'll see

about

"There Are Roots Below" is Auld Lang Syne's follow up to 'Midnight Folly'. Initially recorded in 2010, it was completed in 2014 after a long hiatus. It includes classic ALS gems such as "Tree on Fire", the epic "Ballad of Two Loves" and the haunting "Builder". Jonathan Miller is back with two evocative and powerful songs, "Faerie Queen" and "Sister Dorothy". Also Kathy Dick makes her debut with the alluring "Black Dog", and the sultry, ragtime-influenced "Daisy".
