lyrics

An empty bench with a name engraved
I take a photo and hope for the best
Somewhere a mattress gives way to your shape
In my soul the last love wrestles with the next
Purposefully striding over cracks and kerbs
The same journey thirteenth time today
The song of your sweet gentle lips I heard whisper
Tell me baby, when did we change?

We burned all the bridges, but did we cut out the rot?
Will we ever make it across?

We are growling and grinding and howling and laughing
Carving out our hearts
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start
We are gouging and grabbing and screaming and fighting
Dissecting every part
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start

Your clothes hung like a parade for inspection
The trees whisper snidely about my haste
Shifting and facing in different directions
I held you tight but didn’t see your face

When we burned all the bridges, did we cut out the rot?
Will we ever make it across?

We are growling and grinding and howling and laughing
Carving out our hearts
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start
We are gouging and grabbing and screaming and fighting
Dissecting every part
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start

We’re born to wander
So let your boots make their marks
To escape from a future that’s chained to your past
There’ll be no grand finale
No round of applause
When the road ends again and all is as it was

We are growling and grinding and howling and laughing
Carving out our hearts
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start
We are gouging and grabbing and screaming and fighting
Dissecting every part
But show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The end, my love, the end
Show me the end, my love
The end, my love
The only place to start

An empty bench with a name engraved
I take a photo and hope for the best
Somewhere a mattress gives way to your shape
In my soul the last love wrestles with the next

about

Julian Gaskell image

Julian Gaskell UK

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
