This Song is from my upcomming album, “Tea Green.”  It’s a dark brooding number.   I’ve included the lyrics below.

Sing Your Songs

VERSE 1

You covered us with gold leaf baby

and sparkles from the moon

But with all the shine and polish, baby

we’re the darkest in the room

 

 

CHORUS

You ain’t gotta sing your songs in here

you ain’t gotta pull me by the ear

you ain’t gotta drown me with you tongue

and your body and your tears

you ain’t gotta stab me with you eye

you ain’t gotta hold me by the fly

you ain’t gotta hit me with you hand

and with your body and your mind

 

VERSE 2

you were the black satin dancer

moving with the mandolin

but with all the desperate breathing baby

we can’t go back again

 

CHORUS

 

 

VERSE 3

we got our ancient faces baby,

like two rain beaten stones

and the ripples hug the river baby

and they tap the closing tones

 

CHORUS
