lyrics
Kept repeating, "never give up,"
but in my mind there's a greyhound bus.
Could see some old friends if they're still up,
or make it home in time to face the morning rush,
so get up, get up.
Come on, come on and sing me down.
Come on, come on along with me.
When there's nothing more to say,
Come on and sing me down.
They'll probably tell me, "let it all go,"
but saying all those words doesn't make it so.
I'll end up driving in someone else's car,
where the exits on the Turnpike are few and far between
you and me, I'm on the edge, could use some company,
so come up, come up,
and come on, come on and sing me down.
Come on, come on along with me.
When there's nothing more to say,
Come on and sing me,
sing me down this winding road,
sing me down for all to see.
When there's nothing more to say,
Come on and sing me down.
Sing me down this winding road,
sing me down for all to see.
Way is dark but I can see,
when you sing me down.
Come on and sing me down.
Come on and sing me down.

Folk-infused singer-songwriter. Solo but increasingly band- and collaboration-oriented. Mostly acoustic but electric-
curious. Host of the Fine Grind Open Mic Night. Veteran of thousands of local shows and open mics. Hardcore fan of Bruce Springsteen, Cat Stevens, Tom Waits, and Conor Oberst. Flattered to sometimes be aurally mistaken for John Darnielle, Colin Meloy, and Jeff Mangum....more
