about

“This song came pouring out one night a few years ago. It could be heard as a lost love song, but I think, honestly, it’s about the passing of my wife’s parents, who I was closer with than my own parents. Right when it was written, it was included on a recording project called “On Big Shoulders.” I didn’t get the arrangement right at the time, though. It was too new and I didn’t have the right feel for it. I recorded a double album’s worth of songs for ‘At The Bottom Of A Canyon In The Branches Of A Tree” and this retake of the song was one of them.

lyrics

Don’t start me laughing
I’ll only start crying
I cannot seem to erase the things we used to do
It’s been a long time
And I’m really trying
But I’m just not ready to face
A world without you

I’m standing in a bar with a few of my friends
And the drinks and the jokes are flowing
But all I can think of is how best to say
“gents, I must be going”
Cause all I want to do is get back to my room
Before I fall apart
I’m sorry my friends but these nights always end
With the sound of my breaking heart

Don’t start me laughing
I’ll only start crying
I cannot seem to erase the things we used to do
It’s been a long time
And I’m really trying
But I’m just not ready to face
A world without you
