about

(The Paiute tribes-people near Pyramid Lake, or the Kuyuidokado, tell legend of the birth of mankind. Mother of mankind was filled with such sadness for her children's lost ways that she cried enough to create a lake, and sat in solitude long enough to become stone. She sits there still, overlooking the lake.)

lyrics

Lone stone mother, like no other
Sadness of a thousand years
If there's still sorrow, after tomorrow
May you flood the earth with tears

Here the whole time, with life on your mind
You found you're better off alone
Been at it so long, no one knows if you're wrong
Though your feelings turned to stone
You bare the weight of your children's pain
While listening for the heartbeat of man
You lost more than most, but your still at your post
Waiting for your love to come back

All alone, on your own
Its far too long
All your life, passed you by
You're still strong

Cry for your tribe, and watch as they die
Frozen to your place on the earth
For the ones that left, and fled to the west
You'll be here when they return
If only you'd chose to follow that road
And find your place among the stars
Instead you sit still perched upon a hill
Forever bearing all your scars

All alone, on your own
Its far too long
All your life, passed you by
You're still strong

Christopher Shaw Portland, Oregon

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and I began playing music at age 10, writing and recording solo work since age 16. Ive put in time with a handful of bands over the past couple decades but Ive always maintained a loner musical personality. My range in style is broad, and id rather remain undefined as a musician. This is my art/therapy. I hope its enjoyed, and I really appreciate feedback. Cheers. ... more
