about

The nature of the Frontier -laws are lax, records even more so- has made several aspects of our lives harder than they ought to be. Never mind the sleeping on couches, wearing disguises, digging through archives... try following a paper trail through this kind of environment.

lyrics

The horse and the Rider
just a dot in the distance
shimmering image of persistence
my canteen has now gone dry
left me nothing to drink
now the sun beats down from on high

But oh, my love
oh, my love
I would if I could
But that doesn't mean that I should

I wish that I could move a little faster
Wish the son and that lawman weren't such zealous bastards
neck and feet are blistered something fierce
despite the pain I keep moving as the law man nears

His shadow curves and points out wide
on either side
of his face
He is always unphased
no matter how I
set the pace
My very soul has now gone dry
he just carries on
I bet her never blinks an eye

We have sworn our musical talents to exonerating our beloved uncle James. It is too late to save his life, but we still might clear his name. Thank you for supporting this noble cause - It would be already lost without you.
