Land Of The Hummingbird
(Owens/Sullivan)
On the grounds we cherish
From the dead of night
Is a heart that's heavy
With another's light
Upon her wings
Where man does sing
In the land of the hummingbird 3x
She was a raven
Now just withered flowers
The bloom is gone
My soul is aching
For her song
Upon her wings
Rests everything
In the land of the hummingbird 3x
She was a raven

Dolina (Owens)
In the circus of dark souls
And the palace of lust
To nowhere, to ruin
The stations of the cross
Bathed in the fountain of sand and blood
In the circus of dark souls
And the palace of lust
Chorus
Dolina 3x
Bathed in the fountain of sand and blood
Remember the night we looked for snakes and watched the desert burn
Waited for all hell to escape and the violence to return
Sacrificed it all with flowers of regret
Remember the night we looked for snakes and watched the desert burn
Chorus
Dolina 3x
Sacrificed it all with flowers of regret
Bathed in the fountain of sand and blood

Ashes And Dust
(Owens)
Dark angels try to persuade me
In me the desert is vast
Those who loved and betrayed me
The blessed and the cursed
Ashes and dust
Sacrifice all my treasures
Death resumes its march
All my sins all my pleasures
The best and the worst
Are ashes and dust
Out of the fire into the dark
Go the souls of the lost
See the souls fly from the fire to the sky
We all carry our cross
See the souls fly, sparks into the night
The blessed and the cursed
Ashes and dust
In me the darkness is endless
Destroy all the ghosts
We all come to an end in the furnace
The best and the worst
Ashes and dust
The blessed and the cursed
Ashes and dust

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes
supported by 12 fans who also own “Sand And Blood (The Desert Trilogy EPs, Vol 2)”
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was.
