- "There Is A Treasure" is the first single from Jeffrey Martin's November 2023 album, Thank God We Left The Garden
The city will still be moving in the morning
A million lives all breathing like a tide
Each one a story beyond our comprehending
Each trying to make a life and feel alive
The trees will bloom down along the river
The kids will race the fountains in the light
Someone will cry and pray that it gets better
Someone will stop and try to change a life
The sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning Never even knowing I was alive
There’s a treasure we all know but we can’t have it
It’s a place beyond the measure of our minds
It is where we go when we forget we’re living
It is where we go when we forget we die
And all the tools we use to feel important
They are useless as a sailboat in the sky
Where old bones and heartaches are forgotten
It’s a place we don’t have words to describe
The sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive
Another Gem. 💎
You started on a John Prine vibe and took it for a Jefferey Martin ride. Wonderful song! Thank you!
Speaking as an editor, this is a frontrunner for song of the year.
Speaking as a human being, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. I've been on the edge of tears with each listen for the past few days.
Thank you, Jeffrey.
I agree - the whole record in total is a masterpiece!
Jeffrey is my favorite singer songwriter and his work never disappoints. This song breathes summertime memories.
This song just rips me to shreds. Somehow he captures a purer, simpler time - reminds me of living in Portland long ago, before the riots and the burnings and the never-ending graffiti and the unconscionable poverty and underserved folks with nowhere to go. How did we let that beautiful city and the people who love it down so? Somehow Jeffrey gives me hope for it again…
Those are the consequences of voting blue no matter who, its not an accident that its only the blue cities that are like this, and none of the red states or cities were touched.
You get the treatment you deserve because you get the treatment you allow. Idealism doesnt always translate into reality. You can deny reality, but you cant deny the consequences of denying reality.
He is the John Prine for the new century... Sad blue eyes and Coalfire are beyond description and this one is right along with them. Everyone i have turned on to Jeffery and there are many all say the same thing....."How did I miss this guy...thank you for sharing"... but sometimes I feel selfish and think I should keep him all to myself. My own little beautiful little secret.
Good call on Prine.
Gosh, everything this man writes is so poignant and refreshing. Incredible artist
The new album is stunning. A beautiful piece of work.
thanks for blessing our ears with this tune Jeffrey
I still remember the first time I heard Coal Fire. I had to pull over and cry in a Walgreens parking lot. Today, it’s a gas station and There Is a Treasure on repeat 🥹😭
Can’t wait for the new album! See you in SLC!
I second this whole-heartedly.
Omg, so simple and so deep!
This young man is the next John Prine. Amazing
I saw Jeffrey and Anna Tivel at the Word Barn in NH this his past spring. An excellent show filled with great memories.
Pure goosebumps, can't wait for the new album release this November! Keep up the good work and cheers from the sunny Italy ❤
Exceptional~!
Masterful and beautiful songwriting from a treasure of an old soul...thanks you!
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see Jeffrey again in Indy, Feb 16, and so the countdown begins. Glad I am alive with this dude and appreciate the gift and joy he brings through his music. Safe travels, wishing nothing but success, see ya soon.
This is fantastic 😊😊🎉
What a great song, thankyou. The last line is killer, wish I’d come up with it...
Beautiful song......heart felt.
[Verse 1]
The city will still be moving in the morning
A million lives all breathing like a tide
Each one a story beyond our comprehending
Each trying to make a life and feel alive
And the trees will bloom down along the river
And the kids will race the fountains in the light
And someone will cry and pray that it gets better
And someone will stop and try to change a life
[Chorus]
And the sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
And the world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
There’s a treasure that we all know, but we can’t have it
It’s a place beyond the measure of our minds
It is where we go when we forget we’re living
It is where we go when we forget we die
And all the tools we use to feel important
They are useless as a sailboat in the sky
Where old bones and heartaches are forgotten
It’s a place we don’t have words to describe
[Chorus]
And the sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
And the world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive
Thank you for this!
Masterpiece
Your lyrics remind me of John Prine.
Waiting to die is one of the most tragic, avoidable disasters we are all confronted with. Loved you guys in Des Moines. Road trips are rough and bring out a different you.
Love this, would love to see Jeffrey live in Australia.
This is an amazing song.
Beautiful thanks dude. Keep going.
Beautiful as always
❤
Very cool vibes. Vocal proper.
I just shared “Time Away” on my YT site.
You have a new subscriber!
If anyone knows the cords, and capo for this that would be so clutch.
