musics - Foulk Davis

vinyl spins, the soul, it feeds
the hunger for some mystery
chasing bands into the light
through podunk towns on Tuesday nights

down to Athens searching for
the verses/answers on the church’s floor
congregation is the choir
the pews, they warm us in the fire

moonlit shadows, whispers play
gardening ’til light of day
underneath the surface lies
the words that made us wonder why

there it is, the song I love
lift me up to feel above

starry anthems, gently roam
across the waves to find a home
try to find that hidden track
the sounds of time we can turn back

carry us through thick and thin
you’re on repeat, begin begin
try to find that hidden track
the sounds of time we can turn back

there it is the song I love
when life is hard, it’s just enough

When you played, you were hoping
When you played, you were dreaming
When you played, you were fretless

Leave to chance a late night dance
Kitchen chairs pushed to the walls
low low low low low low low low
Sound waves pull us, down we go

Know what I’m sayin?
I’ll never hear that phrase again
Without hearing your voice

Sidewalk hearts, reconnecting,
reflecting, projecting, all-protecting
Keeping the prisms from taking your night
Holding these moments up to the life

What was so funny?
Something stupid
Something sophomoric
Doesn’t matter now
But it was perfect then

A final shout out down the street
A call to pray your soul to keep
To be wise, to open eyes, to stay alive
To hold these moments up to the life

Goodbye, my smiling-eyed friend
Until we meet and hug again

I hope you were hoping
I hope you were dreaming
I hope you were fretless
