about

The final song off the new EP, and our most ambitious song both thematically and sonically. La Verite means the truth, but can truth be found in a lie?

lyrics

Can I sing you a love song?
Is it too late, or am I too gone?
I’d tell you my story if I had one,
So, can I sing you a little love song?

My daddy died when I was too young
They blamed me, but they were all wrong
I left the shore for a new home
Worked everyday to build a new one

Spent the summer of love in a city jail
Got set up by someone I thought that I knew well
Kept me out of the war, being locked in that cell
Guess all’s well that ends well

Met a girl and she just blew me away
She taught me how to dress, taught me how to play
Caught her in bed with my best friend
And it took me everything not to blow them both away,
But I didn’t, put the gun down

Left that house and swore I’d never go back
Spent the next 8 years livin’ out the back of my truck
Somewhere along the way I found a reason
Never thought I’d be the type to come to Jesus

Fixed up that old house for my new wife
Had the best damn years of my whole damn life
A big garden and always something to do
Found a community and watched it bloom

Then the accident and I lost my hand
When you can’t support yourself it’s hard to feel like a man
Those old ghosts from the shore showed up like an old friend
Told so many lies I lost the only home I ever had

You can put the entire blame on me
But you can’t tell me I didn’t live my life fully
And when we meet again at that pearly gate
You’ll know I’m sorry, and I’ll know it’s too late

But I’ll sing you this little love song
Don’t matter if it’s too late, or if I’m too gone
Lived my life’s story and said so long
So let me sing you this little love song

Ohhh
