lyrics

I realize I don’t know how to be your friend
It burns me to no endings
When all I want is a touch from your hand

I sit, on street corners all around our town
Hoping I see you driving around
And you’ll smile so big and stop to pick me up

Still I’m lonely, although you were just sitting here
Both hands on the wheel so you could steer
To drop me off where I stay, to leave me and it's hard

To ask for something I know she won’t give
Though not long ago, she freely did
She took it all away and now I’m feeling like her toy

Out of Austin and into the rain
Old New Mexico won’t call again
The one I love don’t need me
I’m searching for the lost chord that’ll tie you back to me
Tie you back to me

And it hurts knowing how this life can be
In a teacup floating out to sea
This is like a car wreck that we’re both living in

So I decided to say nothing and go to bed
While you swam all inside my head
I wish you were here to help me tame this spin

Cinders and ashes
I won’t open my eyes
A big old blue sky surprise
While you have your tinder mended
I’ll wait to phone you up

Out of Austin and into the rain
Old New Mexico won’t call again
The one I love is far from me
I’m searching for the lost chord that’ll tie you back to me
Tie you back to me

What’s strange, I suspect you’re lonely as well
From the songs and stories that you tell
Yet you push it all away and embrace your fear

This is the oldest story that we’ve got going here
This is the oldest story that we’ve got going here

Hackensaw Boys Virginia

On the band's 20th anniversary, stalwart roots collective Hackensaw Boys present a fresh batch of original songs with their new EP 'A Fireproof House of Sunshine.' For the ever-evolving string band, the 5-song collection showcases their graceful maturation and feels more timeless than timely, in no small part due to frontman David Sickmen's most deeply cultivated songwriting to date. ... more
