There's a silence full of stars for as far as I can see
In the silence where you are do you ever dream of me
The moon is dark the night is silver wild perfume is on the breeze
I feel the stars cold as forever half as true as you and me
And I'll be your friend I'll be your lover I'll be whatever you ever need
Right to the end until it's over I swear to you you can count on me
But my heart is breaking here tonight my soul is weary from the fight
My God I've tried and I've been true my love I'm coming home to you
I'll be your friend...

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
