lyrics

I was woke by thunder crashing,
I was woke by gods I don't believe in battling,
I dreamed of sunshine smiling,
All my dreams turn to lies in the morning.

Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to eat too much today,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to stay,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I won't be here long,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
Soon I'll be gone.

She wore a dress down to her steps,
She was above the back and forth,
The back and forth, the back and forth of Brunswick.
She was above your petty city states,
She pulled you up by your bootheels to your best,
To your place.

Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to eat too much today,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to stay,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I won't be here long,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
It's just a song.

And the birds don't sing for her round here,
The birds don't dress for her round here, round here,
The birds don't dance for her round here, round here.

She died on their wedding day,
They moved out of the city to the suburb,
That's where they stayed.
The cameras crashed anyway,
We'll be moving all along some day.

Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to eat too much today,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't plan to stay,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
I don't eat too much today,
Don't put too much down for me darling,
Just ask me to stay.

Always a Drifter (EP 2014)
by Greg Steps

Always A Drifter sounds like rain battering a rusty barn at the bottom of a wide open Australian field. That is to say it sounds pretty freaking great. Kevin Dolan
