lyrics

There was a time when I was in tatters,
When you sang for strangers and I lay in shadow
Shone from the widescreen straight to my sickbed
Dancing and dizzy, halo of bright red

I know it’s mad that this path leads to you
A thousand miles and the chances are so few
I’ve got to keep moving on, what can I do?
So for now sing on, oh my muse

Lost in a wasteland, no star to guide me
Quenching my thirst on a despairing daydream
Raw but aroused while running on empty
Hailing my new year, hailing my new queen

I know it’s mad that this path leads to you
A thousand miles and the chances are so few
I’ve got to keep moving on, what can I do?
So for now sing on, oh my muse

Three omens led me from silence to earshot,
Transporting strands of the genius that I’d lost
Now safe in your soundscape, I revel in banter
I don’t have the questions but you are the answer

I know it’s mad that this path leads to you
A thousand miles and the chances are so few
I’ve got to keep moving on, what can I do?
So for now sing on, oh my muse
So for now sing on, oh my muse

Experience and hallucination battle for belief. An honest record, that could either introduce the day or beckon the night. Sedate melodies and quirky riffs bolster the stories told and it retains a character that is difficult to pin down. ... more
