about

Title track - a groovy song about lying a little and sneaking around a little and we've all been there a little.

lyrics

Sitting Tight

Will this crowded conversation
Be enough to drown
Be enough to drown out
The things that I never mention
I’m old enough to know by now
I’m cold enough to cover
Cold enough to cover up
And that is my intention

This is a sign
Of how selfish I am
You know I never work as hard
As hard as I can

Where blue met white
Through the window on my homeward flight
Where wrong and right
mix to grey and keep me up all night
That’s where I’m sitting tight
Between the night and the morning light
Where I can’t remember anything alright

It’s a crowded conversation
I’m forever tripping
I’m forever tripping up
Over things that I never mention
For this time
my ever-overflowing cup
Of denial will help me out
She’s always there to help me out

It’s no fault of mine
I was never listened to
It’s impossible to find
Anything that pleases you

Where blue met white
Through the window on my homeward flight
Where wrong and right mix to grey and keep me up all night
That’s where I’m sitting tight
Between the night and the morning light
Where I can’t remember anything alright

Her latest & third full length studio album “GROUNDRUSH” released here in Nov/2022 is available everywhere. ... more
