lyrics

In the dark
On the phone
You cry out
In the wake of love

Heavy soul
Tired bones
You breakdown
In the wake of us

You try not to hold on to
Try not to hold on to
Those times
When we were doing fine

Was it my mistake
Oh to make you such a part of me
The hardest part of what I leave

Cause
I been down before
been down before- oh
but never, never, never
Never quite so low

But if I hold you in my arms
Would it be just like it was
I try to keep it off my mind
But it beats me all the time

And the sad but simple truth
For me and you is…

Now that we’re done, and it’s over
What hurts most could be all the memories
Painful days of “once upon a time”

In the wake of us..

It’s been said
We’ve been told
Love goes on
But it never grows

We try not to look back on
Try not to look back on that life
So we can be alright

And I won’t forget
Oh that I owe you an apology
That all you got is what you see
And I won’t believe the facts- no
I won’t be the one- no
Watch now as we turn on each other
The broken heart quick forgets its old lover

But if I hold you in my arms
Would it be just like it was
I try to keep it off my mind
But it still beats me all the time

And the sad but simple truth
For me and you is…

Now that we’re done and it’s over
What hurts most could be all the memories
Painful days of once upon a time

But if I hold you in my arms
Would it be just like it was
I try to keep it off my mind
But it beats me all the time

And the sad but simple truth
For me and you is…

Now that we’re done and it’s over
What hurts most could be all our memories
Painful days of once upon a time

Very good 70's style rock. I really like listening to this album when cruising down the road to the beach. Not surf rock at all but awesome! Keyzer Röger

A little late on this CD as it was released in 2014. Better late than never. As Bucky stated a Neil Young comparison is fair. Neil Young is my all time favorite artist . This album rips from the start to the end. There is gold to be found in the depths of Bandcamp. lloydd
