lyrics

I sing for the beautiful old singer
Voice rising higher than the moon
Who sings how trouble hangs around
& pleasure leaves too soon.

Ain’t it the beautifulest thing,
To be lost in the heat of love
I paint a river for your feet
Your blue-eyed sky above.

I can’t see your face at all, but
They say you’re everywhere.

The sea she sees no offenses
But, I hear she loves the rhymes.
Down here there isn’t time to waste
There isn’t even tim.

& now I know just where are place is
In the gathering of a storm
With a black dog locked inside a car
Leaning on the horn.

I can;t see your face at all, but
You say you’re everywhere.
Sometimes I feel like I’m waiting for you to call
& tell me that you’re everywhere.

I know you’ve all seen the movie
That one about the boxing champ,
Like him I’m feeling kind of broken backed up against my amp.
So I sing to the land of “sink or swim,”
That makes the sanest man go mad,
“I want to hear my lover whisper,
‘O lover don’t be sad’”

I can’t see your face at al, but
I see you everywhere.
Sometimes I feel like I’m waiting for you to call
& tell me that you’re everywhere.

I sing for the beautiful old singer
Voice rising higher than the moon
Who sings how trouble hangs around
& pleasure leaves too soon.

Art Of Flying Taos

“Atmospheric, voraciously eclectic, momentarily Floydian … & thoroughly brilliant”
“...lo-fi soundscapes …a deftly prolific knack for poetic songwriting meets gorgeous musicianship.” —
"...hazy & beautiful, content to balance contradictions: critics calling them at first "clear & bright" & then in the next sentence, "creaky & weird;" "the best-kept secret in American music of the new century."
