Darling, save me from the wailing sea Baby, break me open and carry me Over the mountains where the flowers bloom Heaven help me I don’t want to go too far from you Don’t you cry Darling, save me from what I can’t see Oh please break me open and carry me Over the mountains where the red birds flew Heaven help me I don’t want to go too far from you Don’t you cry Darling, save me from the wailing sea Baby, break me open and carry me Over the mountains toward the harvest moon Heaven help me I don’t want to go too far from you Don’t you cry

Lament 01:59
All these things Too many things They wax poetic When all of my dreams Wash away Into the seas It all comes down With fallen leaves All these things Too many things They wax poetic When all of my dreams And all of my days are numbered now All of my days are numbered now
3.
Moon Coin 03:59
Lily white Layers of time The silver moon coin I kept You wore around your neck With a copper pendent You took it off to rest A thread, an everlasting light Who created a pass to take a life? Karma comes A friend I never saw Til the end, dancing in the yard Lavender lights The longest drive I know I never said it I know I never did And though we’re all connected By an ancient grid A thread, an everlasting light Who created a pass to take a life? Karma comes A friend I never saw Til the end, dancing in the yard Silver moon I need you I know I never said it I know I never tried And though we’re all connected By a velvet sky A thread, an everlasting light Who created a pass to take a life? Karma comes A friend I never saw Til the end, dancing in the yard

Hymnal 03:57
In a dream From the river mud She came out crawling towards me She smelled like cinnamon vine I felt burning fire like holy hell All the lights and the mystic moon Came down pouring impending doom All these rituals and dark spells Keep our fortunes inside ourselves We spoke of what I can not recall She sucked out the poison and withered away Like leaves in the fall All night My heart aches All night
5.
Juniper 04:32
Catching the lightening bugs in the backyard Running around with their mason jars Through the window I watched earth and moths Underneath the quiet moon and stars You were a bird I found in spring I was a song That you couldn’t sing It was a love That I couldn’t keep Fireflies fading Butterfly wings I became Your juniper As August rained Running around at dusk in your wet clothes On the front porch as we watched you go Through the window I watch memories fade Dancing around at the end of day You were a bird I found in spring I was a song That you couldn’t sing It was a love That I couldn’t keep Fireflies fading Butterfly wings I became Your juniper As August rained
6.
Nothing in this world ever makes much sense I’m waiting for a sign that’s never been When lights pass through this vacant sky Reflecting off the cars as you say goodbye To the moon and back I love you To the moon and back I love you to the moon To the moon and back Darlin’, let me sing you a lullaby Someone in this life is gonna make you cry, love you then crush all your dreams cause nothing in this world is ever what it seems To the moon and back I love you To the moon and back I love you to the moon To the moon and back
7.
Balancing 04:02
All my love All my faith All my heart All my hate Oh my god what have I done Take my pain Not my son All my guilt All my guilty weight All my guilt All my guilty ways All my dreams All my greed All my soul I’m on my knees Oh, my fate what have I done Take my hands Not my son All my guilt All my guilty weight All my guilt All my guilty ways
8.
Into the Fog 02:58
As fog rolls into the sky Underneath these branches I lie awake I’m wide awake as I try to close my eyes Arms out toward the sky Underneath these branches I lie awake I’m wide awake as I try to close my eyes Creeping in through my veins I carve it out, I’m scratching out your name I’ve spelled it out a thousand times before Now I can’t anymore Oh, I won’t see you in the morning
9.
Echo Roads 02:51
I watched her stare into her brother’s eyes When silhouettes return back to the sky Into the dark we go another year Into the murky fog you disappeared Monsters in the halls Dragons in the walls like to hide the way they feel Pretending they aren’t real Oh, Jonah Jonah, where did you go? Your mother and your father love you so Oh, Jonah Jonah, step into the light Your sister misses you tonight Dragons in the halls Monsters in the walls like to hide the way they feel Pretending they aren’t real
10.
Nightingale 03:27
Hey little girl with the red shoes on Spinning around where the wet leaves fall Up and down and there you are Hey little sister where have you been? Hey little girl with the red shoes on spinning around where the wet leaves fall Here comes autumn there you are Hey little sister where have you been? I don’t wanna be the one to tell you I don’t wanna be the one to talk I don’t want to be the one but There you are Hey little girl with the red shoes on Spinning around where the wet leaves fall Up and down and there you are Hey little sister where have you been? I don’t wanna be the one to tell you I don’t wanna be the one to talk I don’t want to be the one but There you are Hey little girl with the red shoes on Spinning around where the wet leaves fall Here comes autumn there you are Covered in the colors time will tell Hidden in the lights little Nightingale Singing to the moon and stars at night Singing to the moon and stars at night

about

© ℗ 2022 Jeremy Squires

“Inhaling deep into those shadows that sway in the candlelight of a cold, dim room, Jeremy Squires has crafted a lullaby for the bruised soul. Hymnal, now the 13th album of his collection, proves Squires’ prowess as a haunting songwriter, cloaked in eloquent wording and a warmth that is soft, yet unrefined. There’s a beauty found within the pain of his sound, and it’s quite easy to lose one’s self in each phrase that Squires allows to softly slip from his lips.”

- The Amp

“these intimate, achingly beautiful songs seem to pour out of Squires as easy as water.”

- The Alternative

“In an intimate setting on Hymnal, Jeremy Squires vents with a woeful hush of country and folk that feels like dispatches from a battered soul.”

- Popmatters
