about

Music and Lyrics by Dan Frechette.

lyrics

When I first saw you I wanted to kiss you
Take you from this town, on our knees we would pray.
Spend all our fortune and money together.
Making a path for the gypsy highway.

A thief of thoughts. A beggar of dreams.
I made you broke. We prayed for a scheme.
Making the thunder roll hard on the scene.
Trying to find a battle of the world.

I thought it would change but the change never came.
There were blue jeans full of tears and cheap shirts full of shame.
You had to go and leave the sinking ship behind you.
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been trying to find you.

Everybody likes me on my own
Since you’ve been gone.
The picture is looking good but the inside is feeling wrong.
‘Til God works his beauty I’ll be living it day by day by day by day.
‘Til God works his beauty I’ll be living it day by day by day by day.

I’ll get out to the ocean
With a slide toward the moon.
I’ll get out the soap
I’ve used since I lost the spoon.
Hey, there’s a way back without danger or black eyes
I’ll wait to see you misty ‘til the anger in me dies.

I’ll comfort the fragments of memories with visits.
Touching the beach with these memories of misfits.
Wishing I was gone on this path with you.
You’ve got me crying.
Sand in my eyes and in my shoes.
