leave it on the road
climb into my bed
i got left behind
we were heading west you said
it sounds like a memory i'll forget
oh woman you can cradle that flame
saying you can't remember how
a cold storm came
and made frost out of ember
and then it tore your house down
right down to the grain
til just your wreckage remained
simple as desire or a comforting voice
you wished my life away and didn't leave me much choice
see i was ready to give anything
oh woman...
you and your baby
and had no friends course
thought i could see it through to an honourable end but
you were meant to be fighting on my side
you pushed me in the crossfire
would you leave me in the rising tide
oh woman...

This debut proves SF arrived fully formed and Turtle Taxi built on that. Two absolute gems. Given the time that's passed, I sincerely hope they're not done, but if so, my undying gratitude. It'slove
