about

From the forthcoming LP Underneath Eyelids

lyrics

I once lay face down in the river
To hold my breath and count the shivers
I was the only young man crying in the water
And in the morning ma was yelling at my father

But these days it seems the world’s talking about me
Though they’re dancing without me, but they say that I’m doing well
They say I turned some ship around and it’s not that I wish I drowned
It’s just that since I reached the sand I don’t know who I am
Oh no.

It’s like would you recognize Morrissey smiling
With the sun crawling up and hanging from his shoulder?
Yeah would you recognize Morrissey smiling
Like I betrayed a broken heart, for a quiet daze.

Since I left my home all the past feels like I’m dreaming
I dreamt I was a man whose soul was worth redeeming.
And I miss my family’s sad and graceful weeping willow tree
And the mourning dove, my first true love, who cried its lonely tears for me.

But I recalled one decent man who said he’d been just where I am
And so I asked this battered friend just what is wrong with me
He spoke into my ear; he said you have nothing to fear
Except having nothing to fear, and that’s your gypsy curse.
Oh yes.

It’s like would you recognize Morrissey smiling
With the sun crawling up and hanging from his shoulder?
Yeah would you recognize Morrissey smiling
Like I betrayed a broken heart, for a quiet daze.
