| Lyrics: | I remember when you waved goodbye that summer In your flowered dress blowing in the wind The bugles played and both our hearts were beating You said we’d beat the Yankees by the spring We marched out on the sixth day of September Just before the dawn succumbed to day Headed through the fields of North Virginia You shed a tear to see me to march away And still I dream of you smiling in our garden I kiss your face with roses in your hair When this weary battle ends I’ll be coming home again I will run all the way to meet you there Lincoln’s cannons booming in the distance We labored onward with our company We were marching in the footsteps of the Maker They had more guns, but we had Bobby Lee The blue caps fell upon us like a thunder To claim the life of every Johnny Reb I saw my brothers fall across the trenches And watched the women carry off the dead Chorus We held our ground, through all the smoke and fire ‘TilI felt that shell pierce through my coat of gray On that bloodstained earth my light was fadin’ Then I saw you in my clouded mind again Through the night old death he beckoned for me I silenced all those thoughts to kill the pain But then I felt my spirit start to flicker Didn’t cry my rebel yell, I called your name Still I dream of you smiling in our garden I kiss your face with roses in your hair Though I may not return There is one thing I have learned I will run all the way to meet you there |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
