about

I wouldn't have told you that I was planning on writing an unholy blend of a Little Feat, Bad Company, and Stone Temple Pilots song this week, but sometimes you can't control this stuff.

I actually had a fair amount of time this week, and I really wanted to get back to writing potential Magnolia Green material. I don't think this is that, exactly. Strangely, I think it still has some potential, but for what, I'm not sure ...

lyrics

saw you took your troubles behind you
somewhere down the river to drown
 wish I could forget all the deep blue
 I watched the dirty deed going down

Think I’ll always come to remember
 first I saw the spark in your eyes 
like somebody flicked all the lights on
 and everybody covers their lies

keep on saying that my touch gone cold
I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold

Come the time to save you from never
Seemed the only way at the time
Swore I’d keep your counsel forever 
surrender my good name for the crime

keep on saying that my touch gone cold
I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold

no god now could ever forgive me
 left my soul salvation behind 
no more secrets left to outlive me
Couldn’t let this sink my worried mind

keep on saying that my touch gone cold
I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold
