lyrics

Forgive and forget
Don't remember what it was
But I know that you still do
You keep it to yourself
That's the wisdom of your love.
The rhythm of our hearts
How it quickens my blood
The only thing that matters
Is you're still here
When it's all been said and done.

But this life come at me fast
All this wear and tear and mud
My excuses never last
What it was, was
The rhythm of our love.

I thought the music was enough
And my hands on this guitar
Would keep me occupied
A strange choice to hide
In this spotlight in the dark.
And those words you never heard
Echo through these lonely crowds
They understand what I mean
When I said you had to leave
You had to put me down.

But this life come at me fast
All this wear and tear and mud
My excuses never last
What it was, was
The rhythm of our love.

It aint' no big secret
That I’ve loved a time or 2
Second hand from what I’d heard
From around that dismal town
So did you.
We found our second bests
They were easy to control
But our love is mad and deep
When I lay me down to sleep
Its really you I want to hold.

The songs reek of the human abyss, danger and disappointment because, in Reynolds' Noir world, hope and desperation go hand in hand -- for his dreams of easy deliverance are empty, two sided and vague. ... more
