What I'm Listening to Right Now

So, I didn't make it home on time tonight for a five o'clock pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner so I'm all alone at home, just me and my computer. BTW, who the hell schedules a dinner at 5:00? With nothing better to do, I thought I'd sort through my gobs of music files. Right now I'm listening to the The Echoing Green. Joey is amazing. Here's a taste:





Lyrics

Flame (Joey B., Chrissy J.)

It's a dark and lonely winter
you say "this hell's never felt so cold."
yet there's the faintest smell of cinders
and a truth yet to be told

and a sound surrounds your secret
someting I've heard, but can't yet see
like whispers in the twilight
the secret now revealed to me...

it's a flame...
burning just behind your eyes
I'm praying for rain
but nothing will put out these fires
that burn and blaze

wait
let's not forsake all these years
if you'd just stay...
there's so much truth still to hear

and I'll listen all night
to your hopes and every fear
I won't say it's alright...
these things always end in tears.

you're fanning the flame
and everything is catching fire
the things that you hate
and everything that you desire...
are one and the same.
running to escape this pyre
and cover the shame
hiding just behind your eyes
through green and grey.

we turn turn with hearts on fire
we feel it inside, we're steeling to die
to burn burn what we conspire
we cast it aside, to keep us alive

there's a flame
the things that you hate
the tears that you taste
we burn it away

there's a flame.
