  • The Familiar Song - Limited Edition Book

    The album "The Familiar Song" was conceived of as a narrative -- part myth, part murder ballad, part spooky bedtime story -- and to suit the theme we have commissioned a limited run of 28 page hardcover books! The lyrics for each song are accompanied by an original illustration by Mikey Wheeler on the facing page. Each high-quality hardcover book has been signed by all members of The Widow's Ride, and comes with a download code.

lyrics

I climb up the stairs
And stand beneath the gallows
I look through the noose
And i see you there
Leading the hangman’s dance
And conducting the fanfare
Amongst my friends
The lovers, the vipers, and thieves
And the memories of once good men
Now made low with the authors of iniquity
And the cast outs, the vagabonds, and captives of the sea.
Oh to be washed away
To be forgotten by the righteous
And to remember only sunny days
Oh to have had you one last time
And to have never let go of the reigns
Oh to have turned my back on the pearly gates
And to ride back to the west
Back towards Eden
And to start from the beginning again
And to slay the angel with its own flaming sword
But the sack is pulled over my head
And the noose is fastened around my neck
And in the dark I hear the birds sing
And like Lazarus I dream
Of beginning again

I wake up on that far away shore
And I see the lanterns pull away into the night
The ferryman sings a song familiar to me
And in the Stranger’s voice he calls
“I’ve made you a rich man
And I’ve made you a king
Of these shores
And these skies
And all things in between
Where you can reign forever
And wait for your queen
To find her way back
Into my arms.”
