lyrics

Afraid to Leave
I saw Old Joe
walking down the street
he don't know
where he's going
nothing to look forward to
but death
"Hello, Hello,
Hello, I'm Gone!"

More and more
Over time
All the fear
drips with the breeze
just hold
it here
Take
all the time that you need
I've got
no where special to be

Takin'
Takin a ride
wasting
all your history
We've come so far
it's still hurtin

Take all the time that you need
You're all
that's special to me

I go to the beach at night
cry in secret by
the shore line
the island's lights
they comfort me
but I am still
afraid to leave

Doubt
Everything
Watch
You age gracefully
fear
drips with the breeze
once
you feel what you've lost
painful healing

Takin
Takin a ride
Wasting all your history
We've come so far
couldn't be more lost
still finding out
and I'm still finding you

Trippin so hard across that line
I think I took too much for real this time
I'm never coming back
forever's young
No matter how hard I close my eyes
Old Joe he just won't let me go
screaming in the breeze
"Just say Hello."
Woke up in a band with a sound
strong enough to leave this shore behind
heal this history
your fingerprints

about

High Pony Brooklyn, New York

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
