lyrics

We were younger when I took your word
and made it a place that's as safe as a place can be.
We were younger in the older days,
looking for love in the comfort of mystery.

Now I understand you.

I cannot fight for us
if everything turns to dust.

We were stronger in the weaker tide.
There was an ease to the steadily shifting ground.
But the earth, ever gaining speed from under my feet.
Can't you pull? Can't you pull with me?

Now I understand you.

I cannot fight for us
if everything turns to dust.

Get On with It

Black Luck is my band. We have three records and our fourth is on its way. It's very different from my solo stuff, but let's be honest. It's also WAY better. John Benda
