lyrics

Through the black mist
You can only see
A pale vision of fantasy
Dimming daily but still getting by
Forsaken to the darkness of the night sky

And he's been away for so long
But you still remember his song

The long rode to eternity
Written in the sky
There goes the Whistler
The only way to liberty
Stare into his eyes
He is the Journeyman

Has there been a time
Since the days you were young
When you dreamt of a way to reach the sun
Now you've aged
Beyond all imagination
And there's nowhere left to run

(There is a man no one understands
Alone but free to roam the land
Leaving his vision of love and life
Answering those who cry in the night
Take his words and hear his song
His sight is clear his heart is strong
You'll know he's near by the tune in your ear)

about

Swamp Walk Omaha, Nebraska

Started in the sweaty ass summer of 2011 as a two piece boogie band exclusively playing Midtown Omaha house parties. It was fun so we added a member, more formal shows began to occur in 2012. In 2014 recording for the 1st album "Gone Walk'n" started but was not completed until 2017. Live shows continued tho sparsely until 2018. Currently a solo studio project with a series of singles on the way. ... more
