A song for storytellers and good listeners, worriers and the one's we hope are safe.
lyrics
Keeping you up, until your phone hits you in the face. Chewing on the grudge, like gum that’s lost its taste. Headlights make the shadows ripple on the ceiling like the wake, of some distant destroyer or a heron snatching prey.
While the workshop hums with a silence I can’t place, as my chest gives way to an all too familiar weight. There’s a charcoal haze like a pastel grey behind an incandescent bulb and a 60 year old shade.
Call me when you get there safe, I know you try your best, but I worry anyways. Don’t tell me everything’s ok, like I don’t know the look on your face. Just let me know you’re coming home safe. Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear you say. Call me even if it’s late, I don’t mind you keeping me awake.
Ribcage for a songbird, and butterfly guts lovesick to be seasick with landlocked luck, from Halifax to Maine it’s enough If it’s just us, a honeymoon escape in the grip of winter’s clutch.
Call me when you get there safe, I know you try your best, but I worry anyways. Don’t tell me everything’s ok, like I don’t know the look on your face. Just let me know you’re coming home safe. Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear you say. Call me even if it’s late, I don’t mind you keeping me awake.

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
