Matthew Ryan

Matthew Ryan (born Ryan Webb; November 7, 1971) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter. Ryan has also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers." Like the Jayhawks, Son Volt and other artists from the late 1990s alternative country scene, Ryan has a dedicated following but only limited commercial success. more »

Steer your way past the ruins 
Of the altar and the mall 
Steer your way through the fables 
Of creation and the fall 
Steer your way past the palaces 
That rise above the rot 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought 

Steer your heart past the truth 
You believed in yesterday 
Such as fundamental goodness 
And the wisdom of the way 
Steer your heart, precious heart 
Past the women whom you bought 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought 

Steer your path through the pain 
That is far more real than you 
That smashed the cosmic model 
That blinded every view 
Oh and please don't make me go there 
Tho' there be a god or not 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought 

They whisper still, the ancient stones 
The blunted mountains weep 
As they died to make men holy 
Let us die to make things cheap 
And say the Mea Culpa which you've probably forgot 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought 

Steer your way, oh my heart 
Tho' I have no right to ask 
To the one who was never 
Never equal to the task 
Who knows he's been convicted 
Who knows he will be shot 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought 

They whisper still, the ancient stones 
The blunted mountains weep 
As he died to make men holy 
Let us die to make things cheap 
And say the Mea Culpa which you gradually forgot 
Year by year 
Month by month 
Day by day 
Thought by thought
