Charon66 sometimes melancholic, but always haunting melodies. Bill´s latest work is slightliy different to what we heard from him in the past, but again a must have for lovers of the acoustic country rock genre Favorite track: Phantom.

Of many 04:27
lyrics
Of Many Many miles across the ocean many years to understand many thoughts beyond the horizon many mornings in your hands you can fly above perception you can dive inside the day in the end there's nothing like it than a lonely crazy play many miles, many roads, many days you can keep in your life is just the same the mistakes that you made and you already paid many miles before the end line of many ways Many years of getting somewhere Where they'll lead you in the end many lovers getting nowhere Wish you had someone to tell You can be inside a dream-state you can try to be bland you can feel the water daughter by the sound that's made of sand many miles, many roads, many days you can keep in your life is just the same the mistakes that you made and you already paid many miles before the end line of many ways

Silence broken 03:55
lyrics
Silence Broken Silence broken love unspoken fight the world to let you in missed the start but it's not over something else will fill you in Hopeless writings maybe something foolish words I don't know how how they got here out of nothing it was easy up to now Nothing else could bring you closer and nothing else could keep you further from your little touch and all your little wit and if you left alone tomorrow you know I could relate that sorrow that’s why I'm serenading to your own true self Silence broken love unspoken fight the world to let you out hide your sorrow, embrace tomorrow and if I'm there I'll show you how I'm trying to be sane and give your self a name you know it's just a game fixing love and if I've gone too far please try to understand another way to say Silence broken love unspoken only thought it would be fair hide your sorrow, embrace tomorrow and I believe I'll see you there Nothing else could bring you closer and nothing else could keep you further from your little touch and all your little wit and I could hold your hand tomorrow or I could be left in sorrow you know I'm maybe broken but I'm not dead yet Silence broken love unspoken nothing else for all I care kill your sorrow until tomorrow I believe I'll see you there

Sweet departure (feat. DUSK) 03:23
lyrics
Sweet Departure When I think sweet departure there's a feeling I get rolling into my senses sweet departure is there When the beauty of our love died so long ago got a ticket to nowhere baby I'm so glad to go And the beauty of our dream will remain in my heart like an old faded notebook I can read time to time Cause I'm tired and I'm helpless lost my joyful life sweet departure is calling gets me into next flight Take a look weary stranger close behind you the door sweet departure is calling all the waves from the shore When I think sweet departure there's a feeling I get rolling into my senses sweet departure is there
4.
Phantom 05:20
lyrics
Phantom You can cry on my shoulder now if that makes you feeling better you are always wearing out yourself when you try to write that letter And as you lie awake every night secret memories reveal it phantom hanging silent around your door It's getting harder to conceal it Nothing else can bring you down if you try it anyhow thought you died so long ago it was something else you know Nothing else can bring you home again nothing else can make it even all this time you tried to stop the rain all this time was not forgiven Sharing all the thoughts you understand creeping naked meaning is true maybe shine a light you always had or maybe it will die within you Nothing else can bring you down if you try it anyhow thought you died so long ago it was something else you know

Misfit yonder 04:36
lyrics
Misfit yonder I hear the rolling thunder and I feel ten feet under thought I could raise the dead, but now I'm on my knees again oh what a misfit yonder And when the lights are falling I hear the bells are calling thought I could be the one, but now the others having fun oh when your heart is howling Saw a pale and tall man, he was dressed in black and was coming my way I said "I'm sorry sir ain't got no money to buy anything today he said "I'm no salesman boy, you must follow me down to where I came, and that is not an option, oh by the way I hope you guessed my name" I hear the rolling thunder and I feel ten feet under thought I could be the one, but now the others having fun oh what a misfit yonder And when the lights are falling I hear the bells are calling thought I could raise the dead, but now I'm on my knees again oh when your heart is howling We passed the darkest pit, we passed the marble gate down to the center of the earth, where none alive has ever been "hey sir, is it far where we're going, is another mile or maybe two" "Don't worry almost there son, down here we got a hell of a barbeque"
6.
I need you 02:39
lyrics
I need you Yes I need you everyday yes I need you to show me the way every moment is right when you're here by my side yes I need you all the time Cause I've been down for so long yes I need you to smile and come along put some life in my day fix my thought and find a way yes I need you, don't delay If it's better to let go then it's easier I know just to turn around and look the other way but there's one thing true that I know I want you just to feel you day by day Yes I need you all the time yes I need you to know that you're mine put some life in my day fix my thought and find a way yes I need you everyday yes I need you, don't delay
7.
The one 03:15
lyrics
The one Now my mother always paints flowers and she talks good to us about the past and my father saw on tv that the crisis ain't gonna last Say they will, love me still but I say want you to be the one And I say want you to be the one who cares and I say want you to be the one and I can love you so if you won't let me go and I say want you to be the one When my mother looks me in the eyes she knows I'm thinking about my worried life when my sister comes back home from work she's got news that everything's alright Say they will, believe me still and I say want you to be the one And I say want you to be the one who cares and I say want you to be the one and I can love you so if you won't let me go and I say want you to be the one
8.
Maybe you'll see someday 03:22
lyrics
Maybe you'll see someday May you stay under the moonlight and with the strength you saved to make a brighter day for the lights are blinding your sight hoping to leave you there, get you into despair But if you find a way, maybe you'll see someday maybe you'll rise upon and fight for your soul and if you feel dismay, when all the roads are stray try to find your touch, don't let them tell you such or may just stay under the moonlight May you stay under the moonlight cause you will live to tell, if you don't play your head for the tide is rising so high you only have to swim before you even dream But if you find a way, maybe you'll see someday maybe you'll rise upon and fight for your soul and if you feel dismay, when all the roads are stray try to find your touch, don't let them tell you such or may just stay under the moonlight
9.
Willie trouble 04:52
lyrics
Willie Trouble Willie was a young hard working man and he owned a loan him and his wife worked all day trying to pay off their home one day the cops came around knocking on his door they said “you got four days to leave, the bank is taking your home” I always made it since I grew up in this town everybody knows me here but nobody made a sound The night was filled with colours after the rain he went down to find his friends and ease the pain got himself a bottle of whiskey and then another round “I know” he said “what I’m gonna do”, “I’m gonna burn it down” And I’m gonna make it get the hell out of this town and I’m gonna make it but nobody made a sound Willie watched his home go down in flames and he didn’t shed a tear he knew they soon are gonna go after him but he felt no fear cause his name was Willie trouble and don’t mess with him cause his name was Willie ramble so get out of his way And we’re gonna make it drive us down south And we’re gonna make it but nobody made a sound
10.
Broken 03:25
lyrics
Broken Well hope has packed her things and left the station jumped in a train and got the hell out of here gone with a wailing song for a generation that never learned to fight and always lived in fear I don't need to care for this and I won't wait for a fatal kiss Cause I'm broken when I pay the price, in the mailbox and I'm broken when I know that she's, with someone else cause I'm broken when they kick me down, with no explanation when I have another day to live, before the end The education's wrong there is another side to show us the way now that the lights are out into the void I roam, into the void I ride to see the edge of light to get me where I'm bound I don't need to care for this and I won't wait for a fatal kiss Cause I'm broken when I pay the price, in the mailbox and I'm broken when I know that she's, with someone else cause I'm broken when they kick me down, with no explanation when I have another day to live, before the end

about

A box full of antiquities

If I need you every day is cause I need you to show me the way and maybe you'll see someday if it's not too late to understand that you are the one although a phantom hanging around the door while Willie's really troubled in a bar watching the lights and thinking of many roads many miles and many days after silence was broken but love was unspoken and finally broken when hope got in a train as a sweet departure just like an old faded notebook you can read time to time, unless you thought you could raise the dead but now you're on your feet again I hope you understand, that's what there is in a box full of antiquities
