about

Strong:
Three songs from an acoustic solo performance at Blue Note in 2002. The lead guitar on Ancient Love was added later at Sasquatch. Darker is a track from an already written but as yet unrealised album project of the same name. Those with keen ears will be able to discern the background conversation between myself and a very drunk member of the audience who was determined to join me on stage.

lyrics

I have only known you for a little while now
And as you keep reminding me it's far too soon to tell
Yet girl it somehow seems that you've always been with me
And I've reason to believe that we have an ancient love

Instinctively we know our lines in this medieval play
Pity how our worried minds stumble in the way
You and me babe got an ancient love
You and me babe, we got ourselves an ancient love

I can only hold you for a moment now
You skip away on contradiction confusing me somehow
One foot in the future and one foot in the past
Make the best of both worlds now your compromise can't last

I wonder will you be there in my darkest hour
You're making me no promises so it's comforting to know
You and me babe got an ancient love
You and me babe got ourselves an ancient love
You and me babe got an ancient love
You and me babe, we got ourselves an ancient love

I promise you a future far better than the past
I promise you devotion and a love that's gonna last
I could choose my dark side too but it has a bitter end
I'd rather lead you to the light. Let's kiss and make amends.

Darling let me love you
Let me show you how
Don't keep your door on its safety chain when you know you wanna open it now. Yeah.

You and me babe got an ancient love
You and me babe got ourselves an ancient love
You and me babe got an ancient love
You and me babe, we got ourselves an ancient love
