lyrics
I was on the road,
Pouring from the sea.
I could fake a gentlemen,
If you would fade from me.
Whoa, 'cause I was on the line…
Please won't you leave it all behind.
You know it very well:
naked's hard to beat.
But break me down, we'll break this sound mind
That could draw the sea…
Whoa, 'cause I was on the line.
Hear me once in tune,
I’ll cut it then I'm through.
Take it down and leave this town,
It's what I gotta do.
Oh, 'cause I was on the line.
Please, won’t you leave it all behind.
Pouring from the sea.
I could fake a gentlemen,
If you would fade from me.
Whoa, 'cause I was on the line…
Please won't you leave it all behind.
You know it very well:
naked's hard to beat.
But break me down, we'll break this sound mind
That could draw the sea…
Whoa, 'cause I was on the line.
Hear me once in tune,
I’ll cut it then I'm through.
Take it down and leave this town,
It's what I gotta do.
Oh, 'cause I was on the line.
Please, won’t you leave it all behind.

Bassist Nick—student of urban sustainability by day—brought vocal harmonies, a real love of folk music, and, in time, a moustache too. ... more
