about

I wrote this song with my husband Lochlan in the mountain town of Vashist in India. It's our first real musical creation together (apart from Matilda) and one of my faves.

lyrics

Vs1
I lay down my boots. Stretch my legs out by the fire
Staring up t the moon it’s been a long day
Why don’t you lay down and rest with me for a while
And the whiskey warms my throat as it welcomes in the night
And the smell of you is carried on a cool breeze
But the sun backed earth will keep us warm tonight

Ch
And I…..I feel like my back is breaking
And yeah…. When the long hard day is through
No I, I, I…I don’t want what’s for the takin
No I only wanna share my fire with you
Instrumental
Vs2
And when my fire is fading and the moon sinks behind the hill
No I, I don’t want what’s for the taking
I just want your lovin, baby say you will
And then the new day wakes me and reveals that you have gone
Warm embers are all that’s left behind
And I know it’s time that I moved on
Yeah I know it’s time that I moved on
CH x2
