lyrics

Realizing you know
that you gotta live a life
a million times before you ever been born

Shine a light on my soul
you're body taught me something
that I never could have thought of before

If we ever get old
promise me we'll dance
and make a little noise before we are gone

When our bodies go cold
let the fire burn em
and the smoke rise to the sky

These clouds of Texas
are taking the shape of a bomb
my radio reminds me
that nothing has ever been wrong

This creek bed is dry now
but water will always return
my favorite guitar string
is loosening the knots in my words

No matter what you believe
help me be a lover
and I'll help us make a lot of mistakes

I'll get down on one knee
tie our shoes together
cause sometimes we're bound to fall on our face

Maybe freedom ain't free
or maybe it's a little bit of something
that our mind has to taste

maybe love isn't easy
or maybe it's just seeing
that it's flowing all over the place

This love of Texas
is cooking the notes of our songs
let's throw us a barbeque
and bring all our demons along

too late for a memory
the past is always already gone
this music reminds me
that nothing has ever been wrong

Over the sound of a sparrow
a woman cried
like someone climbed
the wailing wall

She was playing with the tarot
she pulled a card that read
that all these lives will end

2-3-4-3-2

This life in Texas
is teaching me to live a little out of control
we talk about outlaws
and park along the wrong side of the road

reincarnation is
never drinking Lone Star alone
this music reminds me
that nothing has ever been wrong

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
