lyrics

Your lips against the glass
I’m finding ways to write about it when you’re gone
And it takes a lot
But I believe in myself

But am I still slow?
Have I already won?
If you go get restless in deep France
Will you call me a coward again?

I come home to love
I come home with $100
But I can’t wait for a laugh
I can’t wait for the good times

In a way I could say
Things I wanna hear
I catch you lyin like that
With the grip of a boy made King
It’s the knowing
It’s the waiting

I left you at the church
I left you waiting on a gypsy cab
Shining in the night
Who could you tell?

DId you run to the sea?
Did something happen?
If it did, I’m not far away
I could whisper into your ears from here

I come home to lights
Looks like a fire in the kitchen
But I can’t be sure of much
Today I watched an old dog die
I couldn’t find my hat
Yes, I stole one from a friend
Yes, the rain followed me home
Like watchful eyes beneath a garden
Of red clouds

In a way I could say
Things to back you up
I catch you lyin like that
With the grip of a boy made King
It’s the knowing
It’s the waiting
It’s the knowing
It’s the waiting
It’s the knowing
It’s the waiting

HESS New York, New York

HESS (of NYC rock & roll powerhouse Mail the Horse) was born in the same town as Springsteen, Long Branch, NJ, and with Lamplight Motel, has crafted a fully-realized portrait of life and death on the New Jersey coast—equally beautiful, seedy, and forlorn—all built upon dreamy layers of warm, vintage synthesizers, punchy electronic percussion and soulful, R&B-inspired vocals. ... more
