A poppy delta blues tune to end an era of life. Recorded at home by the wood stove. Album art by Leah Nixon.
lyrics
take a lot of cold showers but you don't get clean
sing a lot of old songs but you don't sing to me
we live in a world when beds weren't made
and we both had so much to say
now i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
make a lot of small talk but you don't speak to me
ours in a warm bed but there is no heat
face the wall sleep on my side
pretend that all is well tonight
now i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
in my mind i go there, down into the trees
i see them both there strong and healthy
even when death floats in sight
lover's quarrels still rule the night
now i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
no, i can't tell you nothing of my heart
