lyrics
A key fewer on my chain weighs less in my pocket but it is burden on my back every time I reach out to unlock a door; a subtle reminder of the crater that we left when we walked out.
We've been wandering alone since the holiday season, Lord, are you listening? Did my wishes for her come through? I hope that you are doing better than before, and if you hear this song I trust you'll find a channel back to let me know.
I hear you crying in the wind, I see you falling with the leaves; oh, I tried, but I failed.
The road that lies ahead is so dark that you can't see what you are headed for
and the cold's making your bones ache and your fingers turn blue
But you're moving on undisturbed by what or whoever gets in your way...
And now your lover must've been mad, I guess, when he heard the news, oh, he never unclenched his fist, never shook hands,
your weary eyes, they grew more wary over time. A set of golden honey mirrors, and my lips a used-up polish cloth.

about
Roy de Smet The Netherlands
Roy de Smet's music is present-day minded and written in its own right, making it a unique addition to the existing, rich songwriter tradition. As a songwriter, De Smet does not feel comfortable in safety. Hence, he prefers finding himself in a blizzard of intertextual references and exotic recipes, over riding on a midnight train between two much sung-about American cities. ... more
