lyrics

I've been sitting here
on this lonely park bench
Counting down the hours til the sun sets
or the world ends.

I've been thinking of all the things
that I wanna do
Gonna clean myself up
See my kids again.

I used to think of all the places
I've never been
Until I started thinking
of how lucky I've been

'Cause I'm a working man
no city's my home
Been moving on my whole life
I will always roam.

I've been thinking of all the ways
my life might end
In a big white bed
with all my close friends there

but I might rather have a cigarette
under an old tree
somewhere in the woods
where you will never find me.

Katie McNally manages to play so clean & groovy at the same time, and the whole trio together has such a warm and cohesive sound. Makes me miss cozy trad sessions in friends' basements. A romp of an album. andpersand

I've had a mad crush on Natalie Haas's music from the moment I first heard it. To hear both sisters playing together - well, it's a no brainer! If you enjoy folk cello, for want of a better term, just buy this. You won't reget it :-) Joseph Karl
