Recorded remotely with producer extraordinaire Adam Casey, over multiple lockdowns. We sent ideas ideas back and forth to each other like love letters, and ended up with something I consider amongst my very best work.

lyrics

When I think of you today
I imagine street cafes
And all the lives you’d have lived along the way
All the fires you’d have lit and walked away

When I held you
you were there
So completely, I got scared
And hid my head in the sheets of your haunted bed
Held my tongue with my teeth and kissed your neck
Made my peace with the distance...

On your way down the road...

And as you go
Singing songs along the road
Sing a song for me.

Do you ever speak my name?
While you’re sipping on sweet champagne
Or begging strangers to spare you a little change
Or making plans with your lovers to meet again
Or writing poems down on napkins with coffee stains
Or racing trains to the stations...

On your way down the road...

On your way down the road
Where you’re going God only knows
On your way down the road
Twisting turning, burning to go

On the road now
On your own now
