Скачать или смотреть James P Honey - To Be Near Enough Alone

James P Honey is a poet, singer, hack and cult leader of London based band BURIERS.

His plaintive songs are super minimal weavings of poetic imagery and picked classical guitar. Both comic and sad he sings of the magic and tragedy to be found within the curling of an autumnal leaf, the distance that wavers between lovers and the thinning hair of the haunting gameshow host.

Lyrics:

blithering fool you’ll be pretend when you wish you were real beneath the bricks
and what about it all? you’ve been gone - been sad for so long
it’s been near summer full now watching shadows grow strong

have you seen how the evening slowly tires and in turn turns in to pitch before the dawn
came upon a warmth but it melted cold turned heels and went away
came upon a criss-cross of powerlines mangled mess marking clouds
and we found it wild the way the water ran down around the rocks
but all the while the sky was heavy silent somehow a hospital gown

i drove slow so’s to be near enough alone but the road was nothing close to what i need
now i’ll be bird and you be boat - your wake i’ll follow blind
you be bird and i’ll be boat - my wake i hope you’ll find
