lyrics

I can’t bring myself to seek the truth any more
Don’t ask me how I feel
I’m neither up nor down
Who’s keeping score anyhow?

I can’t face you fully or look you in the eye these days
Don’t think that I don’t want to
But my heart is sore
I’m looking down and down I go

I know two worlds
and I don’t know which is real
so I choose each word
and the darkness I conceal

chorus
Ah, oh! Where did he go?
High then low I’m still searching for my soul
So near but they never found me
and I’ll wait a while in my silent purgatory

I can’t bring myself to say I love you any more
Don’t think that I don’t want to
But on these words
I’m choking now somehow

I try to hold you but my arms are thin these days
Don’t think I should be leaned on
This beam’s been brought down
and down I go once more

I know two worlds
and I don’t know which is real
so I write this down
and hope the light I can reveal

chorus

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play. andpersand

My father was born in Glasgow, yet somehow I have never visited Scotland. This lovely music sounds like my ticket of return to the country of his birth. Philip Graham
