Colored By Setting Sun

i've got two lonely shadows
that are fit to kill
if one of them does not get me
the other has the will...
prayers for the high holy one.

Two Shadows

This song came about in a rather odd way, in pieces at first. Somewhere this phrase came out and I went with it as an expression of the often heartless way of corporate business life. Trying to get ahead but losing track of yourself and your real values along the way. My humble attempt to pay tribute to Pete Seeger or Phil Ochs perhaps😁. Special thanks to Hamilton Belk for his beautiful dobro playing on this recording, and to Nat Daniels for her wonderful work in remixing and producing the final outcome, vastly improving on the original version I did some years ago.

Lyrics: The Cuttin’ Way by Craig Durgy

Found my way, beyond this cuttin’ way
This hustlin’, bustlin’ way of life
That’s cut me like a knife

Starts today, leaving that cuttin’ way
That blood for nothin’ way of life
I’m cuttin’ out of sight

Ohhh, where did I go
Why did I follow, didn’t I know?
Ohh, hear the wind blow
Lay down your burden and let…the rope go

I saw daylight through windows and doors
Working my way up through so many floors
Never arriving, no slowing down
Leaving my soul at the floor, on the ground

Found my way, beyond this cuttin’ way
This hustlin’, bustlin’ way of life
That’s cut me like a knife

Starts today, leaving that cuttin’ way
That blood for nothin’ way of life
I’m cuttin’ out of sight

Never arriving, no slowing down
Leaving my soul at the floor, on the ground

The Cuttin’ Way

Lyrics:

I’ve been chasing dreams around 
but I haven’t found
any reason to go on
all my hope is gone

I’ve cried so hard but it’s no use 
I’ve tried and tried but it’s too hard 
(to make life worth living)

There’s no one in my home 
So I’m going to die alone 
and soon I’ll be gone

I’ve cried so hard but it’s no use 
I’ve tried and tried but it’s too hard 
(to make life worth living)

I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
(I gotta I give up)

I don’t want to stay and feel this way 
I’m gonna throw it all away
I can’t stand the pain

I’ve tried so hard but it’s no use 
I’m not going to try anymore 
(to make life worth living)

My body’s just a cage
to keep my soul from running away 
it doesn’t want to stay
so I’m gonna set it free today

My body’s just a cage
to keep my soul from running away 
it doesn’t want to stay
so I’m gonna set it free today

I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I’m gonna give up

Ah-hah, ooh, state your name and business 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
Ah-hah, state your name and business 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, state your name and business
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, state your name and business
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
