lyrics

Late in the evening
Do I play on your mind?
It’s when I really need you, harder to find
You don’t seem to try
Oh, knock on my window
Blow the dust off my mind

I found my ride beside you
And I wrapped my coat around you
You’re in my picture
Where the good surely die
I took my ride beside you
I took ten paces from you
This is the part
Where the good surely die

And when you told me
That you needed some space
I made some distance
As you made up your case
I thought it was brave
To take all our feelings and then leave them to fate

Harder, harder, harder to face
Harder, harder, losing my way, leave it to fate, oh

I found my ride beside you
And I wrapped my coat around you
You’re in my picture
Where the good surely die
I took my ride beside you
I took ten paces from you
This is the part
Where the good surely die

Harder, harder, harder to face
Harder, harder, leave it to fate, oh

I found my ride beside you
And I wrapped my coat around you
You’re in my picture
Where the good surely die
I took my ride beside you
I took ten paces from you
This is the part
Where the good surely die

Honestly not my usual fare, but I'm glad I risked treading outside my more well-trodden scenes to unearth this marvellously faceted gem! There really is something for everyone on this, the vocalist is a verbal shapeshifter and the folksy/bluesy quality of the music makes it sound somehow zany and saturnine all at once. Ben Harris

I've been listening to this album, and others, for a while but the live performances of 'Firecracker' and 'Wild Turkey' , as well ad 'Darlin' Cory', at the Transatlantic Sessions show at the RFH was another level. Live music is the best. The whole concert was insanely good. Shame not to hear 'Black Myself' in that setting but it was all near perfection as it was. oldjembo
