Recommend Me from Morning Shift by Steep Canyon Rangers
Graham Sharp: My friend Wiley Cash wrote a wonderful book called When Ghosts Come Home. He sent me a copy of it and asked if there were any songs that I might find in the story. The father-daughter relationship struck me immediately.

Lyrics
Don't look down and don't look back
No doubt the hounds are on our tracks
They're wailing on the nearest hill
But the silent ones are closer still
Oh love of mine, you can be sure
I'll say your name before I close this door
And if there's wisdom growing old
I don't want to drink my coffee cold
When they start talking, you'll defend me
When the roll is called, you'll recommend me
And if the ocean’s deeper than the waves
Am I anymore than I am this day
And I had hoped that I might wait a while
To face the hounds and stand my trial
When they start talking, you'll defend me
When the roll is called, you'll recommend me
Once I thought that in my arms
This world might never do you harm
And all this time I could not see
It's been you protecting me
So I'll keep walking right beside you
I'll help you fly should you decide to
When they start talking, you'll defend me
When the roll is called, you'll recommend me
