Once upon a time I had a name The highway was open I knew where I was going Lost along the way and that's a shame Lovers come and go and still I roam Tender words were spoken That left my heart broken Fold me in your arms and take me home Chorus/bridge: Your laughter's like a waterfall Your hands could hold the key I'll linger in my darkest hour Beneath your shady tree 20 years ago I was man Trials and tribulations Lovers and relations Stormy weather winds I could not stand Fire in my veins has grown cold No rhyme, no reason No bright shining beacon Nothing that I touch turns to gold Chorus The road to hell is paved with good intent Thought I knew what I was doing In the end we're only human When the devil calls pay the rent

about

Brother Spellbinder San Francisco, California

Well crafted songs with old world ache and modern angst. The best music defies any strict definition. But suffice it to say that Brother Spellbinder combine various musical textures into something melodic, otherworldly, and yet earthy and tangible.
