about

A grown up love song.

lyrics

Let’s have a conversation
about what came before
Or we could stare into the silence
That’s what the night is for…
I’m struck with the possibility that
there might be something here
something more than friction
something more than fear

I’m a pauper and prisoner of my own desires
Temptation gets the best of me every time.
I’m a tinker and tailor. Can’t leave well enough alone
I’ve stitched a life together of sweat and bone.

Ch: I’ve been waiting a long, long time
I’ve been chasing that one thin dime (perfect rhyme)
Seeking the golden light ahead.
Pushing and forward and standing still
Watch the rain from my windowsill
Seeking the golden light ahead.

I’ve been around, and you’ve been around too.
But I’ve been around a little more.
But all those faces seem to fade away.
And I’m not keeping score.
I’m an imperfect man in an imperfect world.
Trying to get it right.
Don’t know why that’s important.
Didn’t seem that way last night.

I’m a savior or sinner on any given day.
Even the devil wouldn’t stick around; he ran away.
Yeah, I’m the guy on the floor with two left feet.
Waving wildly at the moon.
I’ve never learned the steps before, but I love the tune.

Chorus

I'm at the doorway at the end of the world
Thinking about how I'm blessed
I've got a place to hang my hat
And lay my head to rest.
I'm hanging out at the finish line
But I'm sitting out the race
I can stand the distance
But I just can't take the pace

I'm a $5 man in $10 world, no matter what the cost
If it's the good life that you want, then I'm lost
And I'm wondering what's here in this wide, wide world
And what's on the other side.
If we never get there, enjoy the ride

Chorus
Oh... I'm on my way...

Their current partnership in Lowlight is in its second decade of evolution. ... more
