"Listen Close"



(My friends are named Archie and Josette. I made them when I was a senior in high school.)

"Listen Close" by Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

It's been awhile and a million miles
Since I've seen the sun shine on your face
A long time coming but now I'm runnin' back home
Southern pines and neon signs and every backroad between the two
Out of sight don't mean out of mind to me

Carry on this way
I'm singin' to you from somewhere tonight am I getting through?
(Is it getting through?)
I choke on every word and it never comes out right
This would be so much easier standing next to you

I didn't know what I was lookin' for
But I found it when I took your hand
The cheshire smile still cuts me down to the bone
Preacher says it's for rich or poor
We see a lot of the latter of two
I've been gone so long I'm afraid I might be losin' you

Carry on this way
I'm singin' to you from somewhere tonight am I getting through?
(Is it getting through?)
I choke on every word and it never comes out right
This would be so much easier standing next to you
