lyrics

Kick off these heels, it's 2 o’clock and I’m done working
Count my tips and drop ‘em in the jar
Fall on the sofa with another coke and bourbon
Reeking of exhaustion and the bar

This here house is empty as the promises you made
This here is heart is jumbled and confused
This here body's aching for the songs you used to play
Upon my skin, the way we'd make love to the blues

Boy meets girl, sooner comes to later
Flashback, making love and making dreams
You down at the shipyards loading freighters
Me taking cash, slinging hash at the canteen

Sweat and rum and cigarettes, pressed against the wall
Secrets in the salty summer air
Desperate dangerous whispers full of promises and all
When you kissed my mouth and pulled my hair

Soft and low the tv humming, I'm done hurting
Lock up the door and close the lights
Cigarettes and popcorn, coke and bourbon
For the long and lonely clockwork of the night

This here house is over like every yesterday
This here heart is battered up and bruised
This here body's aching with the promises you made
Upon my skin when we'd make love to the blues

Ain't no more apologizing, ain't no more regret
Take your loving easy and you take what can get
Still I'm sipping coke and bourbon as i listen for his steps
Drunk and heavy with desire on my stairs

about

Lone Crow Jubilee Vancouver, British Columbia

Lone Crow Jubilee is a 7-piece band in Vancouver, Canada, playing roots and country music, riffing on old songs and new, melodies that are both original and traditional. Sometimes it's straight-up country; sometimes it's old school folk; sometimes it's rootsy rock'n'roll.
This ain't your mom's folk music, but it might just be your old drunk grand-daddy's.
