A little bit of Doug-by-numbers, but I think I kinda like this one. Once again, started in Blue Rodeo territory and probably nicked a bit of Dawes. Still, worth a second draft, I think. 45 minutes, soup-to-nuts.
lyrics
The point at which I knew my plan would fail
Was the moment when I realized
I’d spent my cash for bail
There comes a time we learn to pull our punch
But you and I were cut from different cloth
I’ve got a hunch
We start out in the clover
But we end up in the weeds
what we have in spades in words it seems
we lack for sure in deeds
we could call a cease-fire
a barbed wire honeymoon
if you could give me just a
little slice of moon
You know, you ain’t half-bad when you smile
And I know I ain’t no movie star,
But honey, we got style
But you and I got a taste for stormy sky
We just ride that wave of bitter blood
Til that red rain’s running dry
We start out in the clover
But we end up in the weeds
what we have in spades in words it seems
we lack for sure in deeds
we could call a cease-fire
a barbed wire honeymoon
if you could give me just a
little slice of moon
