This is a cover of an awesome old school country song by
Tompall Glaser, "Streets of Baltimore"
I love this song- mostly because I was living in Nashville when my family moved to Baltimore, and now my family is back in the deep south, and I'm still here in Charm City.
I always feel like the next line should say "Find her at the corner of Guilford and North Ave"
...
This is a brand new original called "The Green Door." Reminds me of H.G. Well's short story "The Door in the Wall" My writing recently has been full of syllables and fast rhythms and crescendo- this is my shot at something a little more slow and peaceful. Let me know what you think!
after me
i tried to tread water
but got swept out to sea
way past the dove
way past all our sympathy
---
i'll find you some dirt road
and one green door
you caught me saying
i've never loved you more
come down with me
come walk along the shore
---
one hundred miles
to paradise
it's always worthwhile
to be by your side
let's drift along
let's just watch the tide
