about

One of my all-time favorite songs I've recorded, given a new shine.

lyrics

I'm no good at intimacy
When I pressed she drew away from me
Without an embrace to help the blow
Why'd she have to go?

Oh you gave me all you had
All I can say is sorry
My mind can't go of the dream
Sitting on your beat-up couch
Watching the smoke rise
Counting our good luck
Before it passed us by

Love's cheap nowadays
And kindness is in short supply
So aim your beam right between my eyes
Stay, my Boston light

If the walls could talk they'd say David rose above us
To hold a beautiful witch
With a Christian heart
You almost thought feelings were less than nothing
But then he came and you showed each other
How to fall

Love's cheap nowadays
And kindness is in short supply
Speak to me and I shall be released
Shine on, my Boston light
