lyrics

I hope there's a warm bed
for to rest your wand'rin head
let the weariness be fed
come as you go, as you were, as you are

(chorus)
as you lay down,
may it be safe and sound
when you lay yourself down
don't lay on the ground

mercies travel along your path
too many questions gone unasked
whatever befall you'll have the last laugh
come as you go, as you were, as you are

how unkind to want you to stay
nothing is keeping me away
take heart dear brother, hear your mother say
come as you go, as you were, as you are

I pray this song reaches your ears
though I know you shall not fear
hold strong n' wait, then you will hear
come as you go, as you were, as you are

I saw this gentleman (no relation to our fine city's current mayor) play a show at a dive bar here in Portland and his intense and ethereal music captivated my senses. And this boy can sang! Dang! Jon Ransom

This is my friend Brian Rozendal and his folk-beast of a band Small Souls. He collaborates with a pedal steel player who so happens to be named Bryan Daste. They are a fine songwriting duo. Jon Ransom

When the Water's Hot
by Ezza Rose

I have so many talented friends and my girl Ezza Rose is no exception. She is a thunderous lil' force of nature. She's transformed herself from a twee ukulele strummer to full-on rock priestess. Jon Ransom
