about

rough cut...I still need to fix the timings and the vocals (and basically all of it), but it has to wait longer than I can to tell people I finished it.
This is part of an album in progress and this song is for a friend who I should've appreciated while he was alive.

lyrics

We were so cool
Me and you
Knowing the worst life
Would put us through
Wish Id payed more attention
To the time that we had
Wish I’d cared youd gone
Wish I’d have been a little sad

It was late when you called me
Up just to ask
Where was I running
Would I run back
Your light was the only
That night was so black
That night was the loneliest
I’ve ever had


And if we were strangers
We were strangers in love
And if I have angels
Somewhere up above
They must be strangers
Strangers in love

The letters you wrote me
The times that you phoned
Ive kept them a secret
Our secret alone
In my loneliest hours
How did you know that I’d need
Someone to reach for
Someone to reach for me


And if we were strangers
We were strangers in love
And if I have angels
Somewhere up above
They must be strangers
Strangers in love


Let the water rock you to sleep
Nothing in this world anyone can keep
Let the water carry you home
Leave the dying for flesh and bone
Let your troubles sink away like stones


The last time I saw you
I wish I would’ve been kind
But I was too busy
Chasing those ghosts of mine


You know me and you
No one ever so blue
Keeping it together
And keeping our cool

And if we had a secret
Then it was enough
Though we were strangers
We were strangers in love
And if I have angels
Somewhere up above
They must be strangers
Strangers in love

about

The Lonely Bassplayer

I am a solo bassist and sometimes a guitarist who lives in a new city too often to list one. I don't care much about the "music business," but I love to play and, luckily, love to travel, so I frequently tour. I write what I like, listen to what I like. My stuff is always simple, but sometimes strange. A good song is a friend in the dark and let's you feel. That's what I aim for. ... more
