lyrics

when the streetlights shined down in your eyes
that night i almost slipped and told you somethin
too many drinks i might have sipped
but in the light of day my consciousness can't seem to grip
upon the simplest words i wish that i could say

i have no need to claim you as my own or to posess your endless charming i don't want to second guess you
perhaps someday i'll somehow find the right way to confess
the simplest words i wish that i could say

spare us the missing, kissing, crying, fighting, loving curse it does not suit us
i've got mine and you've got yours
but even so i often sit and silently try to rehearse
the simplest words i wish that i could say

and maybe if we lived within another time and place and we were actors on a different kind of stage
then i could find some room to write upon this cluttered page
the simplest words i wish that i could say

but there's just one thing left i wish to say before you turn to go
and head back homeward
i'm sure you already know
cause my eyes are screamin elegies that my mouth can't speak and so
i got some simple words to say

Everything about this album screams 'long lost classic from way back in the golden era of songwriting'. Well, everything except the fact that it came out only a few years back. Jeremy / HI54LOFI

Whilst gently paddling along this glistening river with the sun warming my back I found contentment. At a peaceful spot I set up camp and breathed in the beauty........."I think I'll stay a while" I said to myself. Thank you for this peaceful spot Mr Henderson :0) Martin Shields

Rivers and Vessels

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
