    "Between the amazing vocals of Deborah Crooks and the equally awesome musicianship of her bandmates, Kwame Copeland, Steve Waters and Chris Veenstra, Bay Station delivers its own unique style, incorporating the best parts of Americana, Alt-Country, and just plain good storytelling. These songs will grab you with their sound, but truly capture your attention as they sing about what it must be like to live in the desert, from both the viewpoints of visitors, residents, and native animals." — Bob Leggett LA Music Critic

lyrics

Old hound barking behind a chain link fence
Got me up a couple times but I mostly slept hard through the night
By your side twitching and dreaming
Equal parts wag and bite, rain falling softly

Dodged a leaf ‘cause it looked like a lizard
Chased a rabbit ‘round the bend half hop and run
Wind starting to blow which way did it go? Catch it can you?

Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Wake up, wake up

In a dream you told me you loved me
I said we’re in love but that's a different thing
an open sea of the heart, not something that comes apart
so easily, something for eternity

Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Wake up, wake up

Jumped over a pebble ‘cause it looked like a mountain
Followed a turtle to its hole, half shuffle and claw
Sun breaking through, how hot can it get between me and you?

Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Sleeping hard waking slow
Wake up, wake up
