about

Lead/opening track from forthcoming album "Groundrush" landing here Nov 25/22. Let love fill the room.

lyrics

Loneliness is a mystery I don’t wanna solve
Togetherness and our history is all that I want
We here for some much needed carryin’ on
Raise glasses to glory and the rising sun
Shine up some stories I missed ya It’s been too long

Let love fill the room
like the softest veil
Take the edge off the wreck and the ruin
Might be the usual suspects or just me and you
Open the door and let love fill the room

I can’t sidestep what’s coming the future’s not far
Lately she asks what the day is five times an hour
Spends half the day on her solitaire play
Somehow she finally wins anyway
The old deck I gave her had only 49 cards

We let love fill the room
like the softest veil
Take the edge off the wreck and the ruin
Give me your moments I’ll give you a tune
Open the door and let love fill the room

I wanna talk to the kings and their men crisis looms large
Why are they behaving like they’re somehow in charge
They’re meeting this week and we’re all gonna watch
We might be forgiven stop taking so much
From our own mama's generous, knowing beautiful arms

Let love fill the room
like the softest veil
Take the edge off the wreck and the ruin
Like a semaphore turning their eyes to the truth
Open the door and let love fill the room
Ooohhh
Open the door she’s here not a moment too soon
