lyrics

One dark night from the depths of hell
A little baby demon crawled up my well
He said, “walk”
And oh, Lord, I walked

I walked 40 miles till the land turned wild
I looked back around and saw that demon child
He said, “run”
And oh, Lord, did I run

I ran through the forest, and across a frozen sea
But that evil little baby kept a-following me
He said, “fly”
And oh, Lord, I did try

I built wings like a bird but they broke in the rain
I sang songs for the fairies but alas they never came
I called out to you for a hand from above
But all you gave was your love

One dark night from the depths of hell
A little baby demon crawled up my well
He said, “walk”
And oh, Lord, I walked
He said, “walk”
And oh, Lord, I walked

about

Daniel Muenz Ann Arbor, Michigan

A folkie at heart, I'm drawn to simple melodies and to lyrics that tell a story. This whole thing's an experiment; I'm figuring out how to make music as I go.
