lyrics

Weep Like A Willow
(c)Kevin Fisher

Of all the craftsmen that I could have been
The greatest is master of the violin
I’d play for the beggars, the banquets, the balls
In the foulest of weather, in the fairest of halls
But now these old fingers are covered with doubt
The passion still lingers but I can’t let it out

So I weep like a willow and burn like the sun
For every endeavor I never have done

Of all the champions a boxer I’d be
Who could bloody a nose and could buckle a knee
I’d waste every warrior from bottom to top
With a blitz to the belly and a smack on the chop
But fighting these shadows is my just dessert
For avoiding the pressure and hating the hurt

CHORUS

If I could do everything over again
I would let like keep pouring and never say when
But I’m much too old to have time as a friend
So I wait for the night to descend, over and over again

Of all the professions I could have professed
A doctor of letters would have suited me best
A bare headed, bespectacled banker of books
With a liberal mind and conservative looks
But my only glasses are lined up and full
Of the foamy ambitions we drank up at school

CHORUS

Naked To The World Los Angeles, California

We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
