A Drop of Truth

A Drop Of Truth

Lyrics:
Terrified, lonely and cold,
Made a mistake on a long and empty road.
Sunflowers around a dirty mud track,
A burnt out car made it in but can’t get back.

A half-built guard house falling down,
Barbed wire surrounds dacha town.
Yuri built his house tall,
Hides his plants behind a nine foot wall.

Dacha town,
Dacha town.

Dacha town,
Dacha town.

Dacha Town

Writing and recording songs. A bit of soul, a bit of dark pop, some reggae and blues, mash it up.
