lyrics
I pray you out of this holding bay
Wide open doors calling you away
God only knows why we hover here
bleeding life down the drain of going nowhere
I sing my songs in the dining room
wring my heart with not a heart to move
You spin your soul with a coffee spoon
typing tales to conversations
of the lives all going on around you
only want to give yourself
but who knew - beauty would be such a hard sell
And sometimes
we settle for the smoldering of our fire-lives
Breathing like we we’re dying when we’re only sleeping
A song on the stage of your weary heart
Shifting the weight of the waiting art
Singing a story right in your ear
lifting your love to their quiet fears
Oh when I run away
I run right into the beauty of a freshly fallen holy day
that loves me over and lets me loose
holding my peace and when it
washes me it washes you too
I know for all the stillness, the light moves
In and out inaudible, piercing you right through
Don’t worry, this fury that keeps you alienated
is the way we pray for what may be
the day we’re satiated
I love you will not be enough to
lift up your courage always
What you’re speaking, life you think you’re leaking
comes overflowing some day
Wide open doors calling you away
God only knows why we hover here
bleeding life down the drain of going nowhere
I sing my songs in the dining room
wring my heart with not a heart to move
You spin your soul with a coffee spoon
typing tales to conversations
of the lives all going on around you
only want to give yourself
but who knew - beauty would be such a hard sell
And sometimes
we settle for the smoldering of our fire-lives
Breathing like we we’re dying when we’re only sleeping
A song on the stage of your weary heart
Shifting the weight of the waiting art
Singing a story right in your ear
lifting your love to their quiet fears
Oh when I run away
I run right into the beauty of a freshly fallen holy day
that loves me over and lets me loose
holding my peace and when it
washes me it washes you too
I know for all the stillness, the light moves
In and out inaudible, piercing you right through
Don’t worry, this fury that keeps you alienated
is the way we pray for what may be
the day we’re satiated
I love you will not be enough to
lift up your courage always
What you’re speaking, life you think you’re leaking
comes overflowing some day

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

I listened to a lot of Steve Lawson's music before buying any. So easy to play in the background while browsing on the iPad. So many moods and good to hear it coming as played live. He gets a lot from a bass and its in HD flac. It was time to catch up on buying...
