And the wind was so strong that it could kill me.          But it carried me home :)))

Oh it seems
You've never been big enough for dreams or magazines
But the way you speak 
And the way you think makes fools of kings and queens
Even you silence
Holds it's own kind of quality
Place your fingers on my eyelids
Maybe then I'll begin to see
Maybe then I'll begin to see

Oh and hold me closer
And never mind the things they say
And when I burn the coast clear
We'll pack our things and run away

And on a bed
Of fire and heat, we'll place the things we've seen
And then forget
Because where we're headed it better than where we've been
Where we're headed is better than where we've been

Oh and hold me closer
And never mind the things they say
And when I burn the coast clear
On rebel's wings we'll fly away

Over Seas Of Gold
Searching for the light
I've already stolen
All she thought was right
My hands are oh so cold
The sun has left my sight
How she thought I owed
Something else tonight

So tell me I'm a better man
Tell me life's worth living
The bitter end is out of sight
For she has been forgiven 

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change

I walk down the same roads
I've been so many times
This place is overgrown
Old leaves block out the light

So tell me I'm a better man
Tell me life's worth living
The bitter end is out of sight
For she has been forgiven 

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change.

Seas Of Gold

Autumn

Looking at glass up on the wall
It's staring back, right back
*When will my reflection hear the call?

I hear the figure start to speak
he says, "you're not the same."
I start to think
Who's to blame for it all?
When I'm looking at glass
Up on the wall
_____

Standing on a stage you're unaware
Just behind the yellow glare
*there is no one here to see

A sea of faces where I sink
Taking pictures as I blink
I've never known who I should be
I've never known which song to sing
_____

You are not the same boy
But you are not a man 
_____

Black and white are turning grey
All my thoughts, all my dreams
*I turn to them, they turn away

I miss my home, my southern shore
*Unlock the land and give me more
Is this the hand that I must play?
Is my identity at stake?
______

You are not the same boy
But you are not a man

04 - Never Known Who I Am

Up We Go

Lyrics:

I am stranded on a beach that I've always known.
I have fallen in love with this curse though I know it's not home.

So I call out for rescue, and I work down to bone,
just searching for something -- no, anything -- to get me back home.

I am doubtful of a sail that could capture the wind.
But I am speechless! The boat is open to let a doubter step in.

Now the sail is my rescue, and I rest down below.
Wind so strong it could kill me, but it carries me home.

I am buried on the beach where I first began.
I live by the water that soon will wash over the sand.

The sail is my rescue, and I rest down below.
Wind so strong it could kill me, but it carries me home.

How Can I

The simplest pleasures matter the most. Whether it be the dawn breaking, pouring the first cup of coffee, or enjoying a tree as it sways in the wind, the little things distinguish one day from the next. The day derives color, personality, and even magic from these nuances. Davis John Patton most certainly treasures such details. In similar fashion, his songwriting bears the eloquence of a novelist, allowing the smallest moments to leave big impressions. On his 2020 Poetry EP [Nettwerk], the troubadour uses acoustic instrumentation and atmospheric production to translate life’s idiosyncrasies into five introspective and engaging folk anthems.

“I like to find people where they are and help them see the beauty in those moments,” he says. “I’m trying to highlight the profound things happening day-to-day. We can always use more inspiration and peace.”

Born and raised in the Midwest, Davis found himself drawn to music at a young age. Mom enrolled him in piano lessons during first grade. Three years later, he picked up guitar. In between choir at church and school, he discovered Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago and embraced acoustic folk. While in college, he independently wrote and recorded the 2018 Forest Park EP, followed by 2019’s From the Garden EP [Nettwerk], which received praise from the likes of American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine and more. Even in the midst of a prolific few years, he still found the time to recognize peace around him.
