lyrics

There is an open field held by two thoughts
There is an open field of hurt and pain and loss
There is another world that I am forced to feed
And portray the role of a soldier in Calvary
And here I find myself in thought and lack of haste
But there is meaning in the lives in which you waste

Though the morning might, evaporate
You won't let it get away
These are stranger times and we hesitate
But you won't let it get away
No you won't let it get away
No you won't let it get away
No not today
No not today
No not today
No not today

And there are arsonists, below my feet
And there are helpless men waiting to take their seat
In the past they've held themselves in such high regards
Yet to see them take their chair is such an honest mark
And my brother he is waiting for me on the other side
And when I finally reach him we'll laugh, we'll talk, we'll cry

Though the morning might, evaporate
You won't let it get away
These are stranger times and we hesitate
But you won't let it get away
No you won't let it get away
No you won't let it get away
No not today
No not today
No not today
No not today

The dreams we hide upon the lives we wear
The moment in your eyes when all was fair
And I was sure that we could get away
But not today
No not today
No not today
No not today

Tahoma Texas

Tahoma crosses over the thresholds of lucid, harmony-based folk, and classic, compelling
Americana Rock. Emblematic of artists like Ryan Adams and My Morning Jacket,
Tahoma boasts a flawless blend of indie-rock, Americana-soul, and classic rock n’ roll. Their
new single “Emerald Ring” emulates the band’s transformation from wine-sipping romantic
folk to definitively, classic American rock music. ... more
