lyrics

Lonely painter
I live in a box of paints

It's a cold room I'm renting on the coast now
I live a quiet life interrupted by guitar sounds
How did I walk away from such a place as Cornwall?
If I love it, so I leave it- that's my downfall
Well the worst crime to commit is hesitation
I was waiting on that Bilbao precipitation

Of all my lovers I've had luck with just a handful
And you could blame that on the fact that I'm unstable
If you asked me, babe, I would tell you what I wanted
It's just an open road and I the only soul upon it, riding easy.
Yeah the worst thing you could do is desperation
If you're waiting on that Bilbao precipitation

Oh, maybe I'll be different come the Spring
Maybe that's a little wide for my hammer to swing

Well, I ain't been getting sleep, just getting older
Sometimes having songs to sing feels like a torture
Calling out to other poets: Tell me your secrets
I'll trade you all of my bad habits for your diseases
Maybe we'll write songs then
The first thing I shot up was inspiration
I was waiting on that Bilbao precipitation
