about

Original song, ©2001 Raymond Yates
Recorded live at the Cedar Cultural Center in April 2009

lyrics

Boiled it down was left with nothing
But the remains of something gone
It was right in all the ways that it was
In all the rest of them it was wrong
There's a place that we all must come to
Where we can hide and we can run
Or we must stay and face the viper
And in our veins the venom will run

Raise your eyes and keep your head up
Running is just borrowed time
Hiding makes you scared and tired
And easier to find
Sing a song and smile if you have to
There's no reason to be ashamed
If you need love, just call out
You will find me, you will find me

There's a smile only slightly crooked
On my sincere but selfish face
It comes from desire and the recent memory
Of reveling within your grace
But night falls in every story
And the hero goes away alone
Sometimes he never finds his happy ending
Sometimes he never ever goes home

Happiness rent with the claws of avarice
Emotion knows not the logical mind
Maybe I just tried to keep you too close
Smothered the flame I tried to find
Don't run away from this thing now
I need to find you if I need a hand
Don't want to drown slowly in your mixed emotion
I want you to be constant like the sun on the land
