lyrics

Well I look in your eyes and you look in mine too and I wonder what the worlds gonna do for you
Baby I hope you’ll be what your dream
Take care of the world take care of my son I pray for protection and I pray that he runs
Through the stars and the ocean in his dreams

What do you see when you look at me, I know what I see when I look at you and your mother’s eyes and your mothers sweet smile and her feisty nous too
Oh son of mine I don’t know what I am singing but I’m searchin’ for words and know that I’m screaming but you make me feel unafraid

So I run through the night and I call on my son I make you the world and I make us all run
I must have been crazy not to try much sooner
I trust in my father and I trust it is right to give me the strength to run through the night
Oh holy, you are my child

about

Duquette Johnston Birmingham, Alabama

By his own admission Duquette Johnston has lived a "wild, incredible life," but even that might be underselling the three-act 25-year journey that's led to the Alabama musician's new album The Social Animals; out February 25 on Single Lock Records.

I've only owned this album for a day, but I can't get enough of it already. It's just so quiet, stunning, raw and moving. Reminds me of Nick Drake and Ryan Adams mixed in one. It's just incredible. Thank you jane willow

I'm way behind the curve on this. I thought M/L was to be a one-off project but now there's more? And it's even better than the first? YES!! J. Danner
