about

The Saint of Everything is a meditation on the times we’re living through, featuring mandolin, guitars, lap steel and fiddle. Given the topic one might expect a mournful song, but this tune bounces along throwing garlands of flowers and sprinkling fairy dust, with a message of measured weariness but certainly of hope.

lyrics

A songbird on the wire
sings a weary tune
The Saint of Things That Fly
has got the blues

A slow motion wave
from a rolling train
the Saint of Things That Move
is passing through

Ride all night
on tired horses
The Saint of Everything knows
when we break through
we’ll be brand new

A year of windless sails
a year without a breeze
The Saint of Time and Tide
adrift at sea

A phone rings in a booth
a ghost is on the line
The Saint of Those That Roam
is on the wire

Ride all night
on tired horses
The Saint of Everything knows
when we break through
we’ll be brand new

Have you heard the news?
we burning all the calendars tonight
a bonfire of our blues
we’re crawling to the light

Take sorrow to the bridge
tie it to a stone
the Saint of Everything will take us home
the Saint of Everything will take us home

about

Bob Gemmell Sacramento, California

I've been on the planet for 21,182 days. I've seen some stuff. Fortunately, I take good notes - which have ended up in the verses of songs.

I spent along time as the singer and songwriter with the band Big Medicine Head. Check us out: bigmedicinehead.com.

So, welcome to my blanket fort. Towels are down the hall; please don't use my toothbrush.
