lyrics

Someday you’ll look back and see my face in photographs
And you’ll wonder who I was and where I went
The past’s a secret I won't keep. The rest's a dream: just try to sleep
The minutes pass no faster ‘cause they’re more well-spent
When consequences hastened by your powers of persuasion
Meet the promises you made to make me stay
Then you’ll wrap your arms around me ‘cause you’re so glad that you found me
And ‘cause you can’t think of anything to say
All you fine ladies feared forgotten,
Come find out what I recall
Then lay me in a deep grave, babe
The one you’re with has never stood so tall

You better fill your threats with something I won’t soon forget
Or leave them empty; either way is fine with me
No one else will make you answer for the lack of what you stand for
And I’m sure you’ll make up something to believe
You bet it’s brutal business when you’re begging for forgiveness
But you don’t know what you need forgiveness for
You’ll say anything it seems: deny your love interpret dreams
And with each word, you’ll bind yourself to beg for more
All you fine ladies feared forgotten,
Come find out what I recall
Then lay me in a deep grave, babe
The one you’re with has never stood so tall

So, explain to me what happens when the storm that trapped you passes
But you’re still stuck in the first port that you found
What’s the worse eternity: to have been buried by the sea
Or to have pledged your heart to whoever’s around?
If you think you get off easy ‘cause you tell me you don’t need me
Then you must believe the rain will keep you dry
You reach for me, I won’t be there; want me to speak, I’d rather stare
Into the frosted glass, 4am summer sky
All you fine ladies feared forgotten,
Come find out what I recall
Then lay me in a deep grave, babe
The one you’re with has never stood so tall

about

Ian Fitzgerald Providence, Rhode Island

Though perhaps technically a singer-songwriter, Ian Fitzgerald prefers the term 'folk singer,' as it more accurately describes the tradition in which his music is rooted. From early twentieth century field recordings through Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch, and hundreds of artists in between, Ian has been influenced by one of the sturdiest strains of American music. ... more
